Description Kishore Gopalakrishnan 2018-08-24 16:13:08 UTC
If one tries to set the duration in the timer widget by scrolling on a touchpad, one finds that the scroll is too sensitive. Unlike a mouse wheel, it is very difficult to scroll only by one 'unit' with a touchpad. For laptop users, it would be nice to have a 'set custom duration' option in the right click menu, which would allow one to use the keyboard to enter the desired digits.

I can confirm on neon dev unstable.
