In recent X servers gnome-screensaver's fade-to-screensaver has lost the ability to be interrupted. Tim Taiwanese Liim's analysis on the Fedora bugĀ¹ lead to an edge case in the SYNC extension.
If the WakeupHandler is called exactly on the threshold of a NegativeTransition trigger then SyncComputeBracketValues can unset the upper bracket bound, resulting in the idle counter not being updated past the threshold. Since a NegativeTransition is only triggered in the transition from strictly greater than to below the threshold, this results in the NegativeTransition not firing.
