Description Victor Vargas 2010-06-15 13:35:57 UTC 
This report was originally filed at:
https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/592855


Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

System > Preferences > Keyboard > Typing Break
Work interval lasts 59 minutes, Break interval lasts 1 minute, Allow postponing of breaks

When a typing break is activated, the counter starts at 1:01 and the postpone button is greyed out until 0:56 seconds.

I specifically have the allow postponing option enabled because I'm sometimes doing things I don't want to interrupt. This forces me to interrupt my session for at least 5 seconds. I upgraded to Lucid from Jaunty and didn't have this issue on Jaunty.

I have gnome-control-center 1:2.30.1-0ubuntu1 installed.
Comment 1 Janeene Beeforth 2010-06-24 08:15:10 UTC 
This 5 second delay was deliberately added to typing-monitor in January 2010.

Please at least make this delay user-configurable. I understand why the people asking for it wanted it, but it's a major nuisance for those of us who do NOT want a large forced delay.

Fixed on master.
