I'm having this problem as well...no matter what amount of time I set in Screensaver Prefs (I tried 10, 5, and 1 minutes), the screensaver never activates.
It doesn't appear to be caused by selected text though...I tried closing all my open apps and sure enough, the screensaver activated. So I restarted each app one by one and waited in between to see if the screensaver would activate... vlc seems to be causing the problem for me...I use vlc all the time as a webcam broadcaster, so I keep it up in my tray with kdocker. If I stop vlc...the screensaver activates. If I'm running vlc the screensaver does not start...no matter if it's docked or not. My company's policy requires that my screensaver activate after 10 minutes (Sarbanes-Oxley and HIPPA requirements) so its pretty important thing to me....I guess for the time being I'll have to move my vlc server to another box :( -- gnome-screensaver does not activate if text is highlighted https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311235 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
