Hi your app is very good and i'm happy to have the chance to use it. i'm using ubuntu 14.04 LTS and go-for-it 1.4.7 when the break counter is finished i noticed that the next task still the same one that i was working on, it didn't get the next one from my list i hope you find time to fix this Thanks

Go For It doesn't switch to the next task until the current task is done or when the timer is paused and the next task is selected. As far as I know "Your next task" means "Your current task". I'm not completely sure though, as that message has been there since before I started contributing and I've never talked with @mank319 about it. It never bothered me anyways (next task seemed logical to me: you were taking a break, next thing: \<task name>).

Would changing the message to something less confusing solve this issue for you? Or do you really want Go For It to switch to the next task after the first break?

I think changing the message to "You still working on " will be better, because i already know what task that i'm working on right now.

Excuse me, for the switching to the next task i have an idea: I think switching to the next task after the first break won't be useful, because if i have a task that needs 90 minutes and i need to break it to slots, choosing number of slots n will be better, after they are done switch to the next task (Like if i choose to take 3 slots of 30 minutes for some task then the scenario is going to be like that: 1- take the first 30 minutes 2- five minutes break with "You still working on " notification 3- take the second 30 minutes 4- five minutes break with "You still working on " notification 5- take the last 30 minutes 6- five minutes break with "Your next task is " notification, but this should on the beginning of the last break 7- user choose number of working slots of next task and start it. ) I'm wondering if this could be applicable some day in Go For It Thanks
