Bug ID: 470258
Summary: Running stopwatch stops the monitor from shutting off
and the PC from going into standby mode
Classification: Applications
Product: kronometer
Version: unspecified
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: elvis.angelac...@kde.org
Reporter: mor...@pc-heini.de
Target Milestone: ---
I recently bought an OLED monitor and set the monitor to shut off after 3
minutes in the KDE settings.
A running stopwatch in Kronometer stops that from happening and I don't think
it should because it significantly increases the chance of burn in if the
monitor stays on when you don't expect it to.
Even if the PC goes into standby mode, Kronometer should still be able to
calculate the difference between the current time and the time when the
stopwatch was started.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. go into energy settings and make sure screen power management is enabled
2. start Kronometer
3. press on start
4. wait until you monitor should turn off
OBSERVED RESULT
monitor never turns off
EXPECTED RESULT
monitor should be able to turn off if no other application is stopping it
