------- Comment #1 from [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2007-11-02 10:27 ------- This is so by design. See bug 62 and bug 220 for some discussion. Basically, the idea was that a user should be able to cancel a "self inflicted" restbreak, regardless of their setting for "show skip/postpone" button.
Of course, you have a point that if you choose "skip" in that case, you are able to prolong the time between breaks. However, making the "skip" button not reset the timer, is not the answer, imo, because in that case, the "skip" and "postpone" buttons are behaving the same. As an alternative approach, I'd propose to only show the "postpone" button on self inflicted restbreaks, but not the "skip" button. Then again, I am wondering if it is really worth the trouble. From a usability point of view, one could argue that it would be best if the restbreak window always looks the same (this reduces the mental load of having to recognise that stupid window that is interrupting your work, yet again). From this point of view, all these kinds of diversity (restbreaks yes/no, skip/postpone yes/no, etc..) isn't really helping.
