Description David Timms 2006-03-26 10:05:10 UTC

Description of problem:
While reading a web page or a pdf, I use the mouse scroll wheel to move through
the document. The screensaver activates while I'm reading the text.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Yes.

Steps to Reproduce: (quickly)
1. System|Preferences|Screensaver|Set session idle after 1 minute.
2. uncheck lock screen saver when active.
3. open a document (text/web/pdf), and begin reading, scrolling down as you go.
  
Actual results:
While browsing /scrolling through the chosen document, the screensaver kicks in,
by fading out your document, and starting the screensaver.

Expected results:
The mouse buttons activity should restart the inactivity timer, keeping the
screensaver from activating. Also no amount of clicking or scrolling will stop
the fade out or exit the screensaver.

I too have the same issue!

Comment 4 Ray Strode [halfline] 2006-04-09 21:20:57 UTC

Hi guys,

This issue should be fixed in the latest fc5 updates of gnome-screensaver.

Comment 5 David Timms 2006-04-18 11:53:10 UTC

Both gnome-screensaver-2.14.0-1.fc5.1
and  gnome-screensaver-2.14.1-1.fc5.1 solve the issue where clicking or wheeling
before the screensaver starts restarts the inactivity counting.
Both also solve the issue where click/wheel are ignored during the fade to black. 

However, the final issue of having click/wheel exit a screensaver once it
actually running is not solved (at least for floaters, the big clue squares, and
the space images). Would you like a new bug for that case ? Or reopen ?

Hi David,

Yea, could you file a new bug and mention it in a comment in this bug?

Comment 7 David Timms 2006-04-19 09:55:34 UTC
