Event mousemove triggered always

[psyafter]

Event mousemove triggered always on plugin change state if using modal window (jquery for example, with overlay) for displaying some popup on idle state. So if mouse is in document area (even if no mouse moving) so idle state finished without any activity.

I have a patch for this situation:

1) should remove event 'mousemove' in 'events' variable

2) after row //assign appropriate event handlers $(elem).bind($.trim((events + ' ').split(' ').join('.idleTimer ')), handleUserEvent);

we put this code:

    $(elem).mousemove(function (event) {
        if (event.pageX != obj.mX || event.pageY != obj.mY) {
            obj.mX = event.pageX;
            obj.mY = event.pageY;
            //handleUserEvent(elem); - not work for me, so I trigger another event 
            $(elem).trigger('keydown');
        }
    });

Had the same issue myself, a better fix will be to change handleUserEvent method (since triggering 'keydown' might not work if not listening to keydown)

   handleUserEvent = function(event){
        var obj = $.data(this,'idleTimerObj');

        if (event.type !== 'mousemove' ||
                event.pageX != obj.pageX || 
                event.pageY != obj.pageY) {
            obj.pageX = event.pageX;
            obj.pageY = event.pageY;

            //clear any existing timeout
            clearTimeout(obj.tId);

            //if the idle timer is enabled
            if (obj.enabled) {
                //if it's idle, that means the user is no longer idle
                if (obj.idle){
                    toggleIdleState(this);
                }
                //set a new timeout
                obj.tId = setTimeout(toggleIdleState, obj.timeout);
            }
        }
     };

[akamensky]

Is there anyone still maintaining this plugin?

[thorst]

I believe my branch implements this correctly. https://github.com/thorst/jquery-idletimer/blob/master/src/idle-timer.js

[mikesherov]

@thorst I'll review today. Thanks for the patch!

I was also hitting a mousemove bug in ios7. That fix along with this one are in 1.0.0
