*** Description ***

BOINC doesn't resume after inactivity period.
It's not an idle time detection problem, because with "idle_detection_debug" activated in "Event log options" I get log messages like...

*** Steps To Reproduce ***

1. run boinc
2. run boincmgr
3. set "'In use' means mouse/keyboard input in last [x] minutes" to 1 in preferences and save
4. wait 1 minute without touching mouse and keyboard: tasks won't resume (they will still show a "Suspended - computer is in use" status)

*** Expected behavior ***
BOINC tasks should resume after the inactivity period

*** System Information ***
- OS: up-to-date Arch Linux with kernel 5.5.10-arch1-1
- BOINC Version: 7.16.5

I filed an issue upstream: https://github.com/BOINC/boinc/issues/3509

Upstream supposedly fixed this, but it will be live only from version 8.0 on

AFAICT from perusing their GitHub, the fixes have already been implemented in 7.xx. Either way, it's an upstream issue.
