SUMMARY When adding an alarm, KAlarm shows the following warning: KAlarm does not provide high accuracy alarms. The alarm will trigger at the minute boundary before the specified time from now. According to the changelog https://github.com/KDE/kalarm/blob/master/Changelog, the intention is to only show this warning if the alarm time would be triggered very soon (in the next few minutes?). But it‘s actually shown for alarms which only would be triggered far into the future, e.g., in a year’s time, where you don’t need high-accuracy timing. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Add a new alarm. 2. Set alarm time to a year into the future. 3. Click ‘OK’. OBSERVED RESULT Warning about lack of high-accuracy timing is shown. EXPECTED RESULT No warning should be shown. (It should be shown only for alarms set to be triggered in the x minutes, perhaps with x = 10.)
