Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

Currently, I have typing breaks configured at 5 minutes per 60 minutes. If I
postpone a break, it pops up again in 3 minutes. Instead of using a constant 3
minutes, I think it should use: MAX(3, break_length) -- that is, set the
reminder delay equal to the break length, unless it's less than 3 minutes, in
which case, set the reminder delay to 3 minutes

--

I changed my break time to 1 minute every 20 minutes. I discovered that this
issue is worse than I thought.

The current algorithm seems to be: MIN(3, break_length)
I think it should be: MAX(3, break_length) perhaps even MAX(5, break_length)

Thanks for the report, however there's no need to fill it in Ubuntu if there's already one open upstream. thanks.
