[Braillenote] More stopwatch observations in 6.1

[Peggy Kern]

Hi, guys.  My stopwatch did its funky thing again, where it stopped 
announcing the time every minute, even with speech on.  I happened to know 
that I'd gotten close to my 15 minutes of elliptical riding, so I got off 
and pressed the thumbkey and the display said ten minutes.  I let it run 
for a while, and when I knew it was getting close to the ten-minutes-idle 
time and would go to sleep, I sat down and watched the display.  When it 
went to sleep, I counted another minute or so, then brought the display 
back to life.  The stopwatch had actually stopped when the display went to 
sleep, and it was my pressing a thumbkey that brought it back to life.  I 
did a reset and expect everything to work fine for tomorrow's exercise 
session;  but I wonder why it periodically does this.  I thought it was 
just going to sleep but still counting, and was surprised to learn that 
it's actually stopping.  So those who have 6.1 and use the stopwatch, be 
forewarned that there may be situations when it'll stop without 
permission.  <grin>
