Pause an active task without creating a new work period

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?  Intel
or PPC computer?
iBook PPC-G4 933Mhz OS X 10.4.8

Add a way to stop and restart (pause) a task without add a line in the
right window.

Thanks for the suggestion!

I will consider adding this in a future release.

If anyone has thoughts about the best user interface for this feature, please 
post
your comments here.  For instance, should there be a new pause button, or can 
this
functionality be added to some existing buttons?  How would it interact with 
the menu
bar icon?

An example scenario showing the usefulness of this feature and its advantages 
over
simply using the current start/stop features would also be helpful.

It could be confusing to have the difference between the start and stop time be 
greater than the time spent.  I 
think if you did this you'd want some sort of visual indication that there were 
pauses in that period and some 
way of display the worked time segments.  Then again, if you didn't like the 
way paused items worked, you could 
always avoid the feature and just use start/stop as we do now.

I think the current functionality is ok.
