• Bug#257092: xscreensaver: screensaver waits until you move the mouse to

    I think you're right, there was a small window where it might not have
    been paying attention to mouse motion right away. Detection of keyboard
    input is event driven, but detection of mouse changes are polled every 5 seconds. So, it could be that there was mouse motion, and then <5
    seconds later, the blank-the-screen timer went off, and that recent
    mouse input wouldn't have been noticed until after the fade-out ended.

    I changed it so that when the blank-the-screen timer goes off, it
    immediately polls the mouse one last time to be sure.

    Try 4.17 and let me know if you see an improvement?

    I will try but I only occasionally see the problem. I'll let you know if I get it any more.
