Please allow me to configure minimum "away" time before being prompted

Sometimes I step away for just a minute or two, and am then prompted with an "away" dialog when I return. I would like to be able to configure a minimum "away" time, which would just count the away time as what was happening previously.

Read the help and check the settings: http://manictime.com/Sup.../Help/Client/13/settingsQuote:Time is marked as Away when:
computer is not used for 10 minutes - if you are not using a computer for more then 10 minutes (not moving mouse or typing on the keyboard) Away time is triggered

MT Tracks away time using inputs from keyboard or mouse. So when you don't touch the mouse or keyboard for some predefined time, away time is triggered. When this happens, it will show Away view window when you start using the computer again.
By default this time is set to 10 minutes. Go to Tools - Settings - Tracking and check if you have this set to 10 minutes. If you do, and you still think it is not working correctly, please let me know.

It took a few days to get it to do this, but attached is an example screen shot of the application asking about away time that was under the threshold (30 minutes). This happens (not every time) when I lock the screen and then unlock it. je64us attached the following image(s): MT Prompt.png (20kb) downloaded 3 time(s).You cannot view/download attachments.

I completely forgot about this, sorry. You are correct, this also happens when you lock the station.
Whenever we can't track the usage, like when it is locked, we also show this as Away. And like any other away you receive the Away view window when you return.
So we would need a setting, something like Don't show Away window when locked for less than inactive. Or something like that, this sounds to complicated.
