Forever waiting for idle

Hi everyone,
I've installed fah client and it works in "while i'm working" mode without any issues. However, it stays in "waiting for idle" state if I use "only when idle" setting even if I'm away from my pc for a long time.
I believe is't because my mouse is quite sensitive and sometimes it can produce micro-movements which are interpreted as activity. I think you need to add some kind of threshold in this case.
Anyway I'm asking for help because I'm not able to run client when I'm working.
I use KDE Neon (x64) which is debian/ubuntu based distro
Thanks.

Welcome to the F@H Forum komorebithrowsatable,

Please note that the idle state that F@H uses is from the OS itself. In your case, you will need to see what is considered idle on KDE Neon and then ensure that your system can meet it. Once it doesn't the client will start to fold automatically.

Regarding the mouse sensitivity, that would the at the OS level, not the client level as the client use the OS and doesn't "measure" anything by itself.

Well, I'll try to troubleshoot and publish a solution here when it's ready.

Thanks.
