Oh please! Calling this a 'grave' bug is just ridiculous!

You might want to have a look at /usr/share/doc/workrave/NEWS.gz:

       *****************************
* Workrave 1.6.0

[...]

** Timers can be configured to ignore activity.
       ******************************

Checking the "Suspend timer when inactive" checkbox in the "Micro-Break"
tab of preferences/Timer should bring back the old behaviour.

So this is really a minor bug: By default
/apps/workrave/timers/micro_pause/activity_sensitive should be set to
'true'

Thanks,

Johannes

Well, it does render the package unusable. Sorry if I'm being blunt..

See, I didn't see that setting at first, but now, I see it and checking
or unchecking it doesn't change anything at all. The timers completely
ignore (in)activity.

It is, I double-checked in gconf.

I really think we have a bug here. :(

Cheers, and thanks for the quick answer.

It is happening for me too. Renders workrave unusable. It asks me to
take a micro break, then when I stop working, it never actually takes
the break. Likewise, if I go away from my computer, the clock still
ticks down.

Please advise what information to provide to work toward a fix.

Subject: workrave ignores my lack of activity

Package: workrave
Version: 1.6.1-2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Starting with this version (I *think* I just upgraded workrave),
workrave doesn't consider my times of inactivity. Usually, when I stop
using the keyboard or mouse, workrave considers the time passing as
"idle time" and stops counting the "busy time".

This doesn't work anymore. The timers just go on and on, and when
workrave asks me to take a break, I can't do it, because to trigger the
break, workrave has to "see" me "stop working".

Thank you very much. The upstream bug is now a duplicate though, as this
bug was already noticed by other workrave users.

------- Additional Comments From <email address hidden> 2004-07-01 12:09

I hope this bug is now fixed.... Pawel's analysis was very accurate.
Unfortunately, I didn't understand it at first....

I thought workrave didn't need the 'button released' event. Only button
presses are counted as activity. However, the fix for bug #335 requires
button release events....Xrecord should deliver these events [so here
is an inconsistency with Pawel's comment that enabling xrecord didn't
help]. However, when xrecord is not available or fails, workrave falls
back to a dirty hack to monitor keyboard and mouse. This hack uses the
grabbutton (which only grab presses) which does not detect mouse
release events.....

It is very likely that this hack will be removed in a future version of

thanks

Just got this feedback from upstream author Rob Caelers, meaning this
bug is probably fixed now in upstream CVS:

I hope this bug is now fixed.... Pawel's analysis was very accurate.
Unfortunately, I didn't understand it at first....

I thought workrave didn't need the 'button released' event. Only button
presses are counted as activity. However, the fix for bug #7095 requires
button release events....Xrecord should deliver these events [so here
is an inconsistency with Pawel's comment that enabling xrecord didn't
help]. However, when xrecord is not available or fails, workrave falls
back to a dirty hack to monitor keyboard and mouse. This hack uses the
grabbutton (which only grab presses) which does not detect mouse
release events.....

It is very likely that this hack will be removed in a future version of
workrave (>= 1.7)

Everone, please download a nightly build of Jul 2nd or later
(http://workrave.org/download/snapshots/20040702/) and confirm that
this bug has been fixed.
