Inactive Collaborator Avatar dissapears on the Editor instead of greying out

Open mercy-ship-it opened this issue 6 months ago • 2 comments

Description
The gray border indicator for inactive collaborators (inactive for more than 2 minutes) is not working as expected.
Instead of switching to a gray border, the avatar either disappears entirely or remains displayed as active on the navigation bar.

Expected Behavior

  • Avatars for inactive collaborators (no activity for > 2 minutes) should remain visible with a gray border to indicate inactivity.
  • Avatars should only disappear when the collaborator disconnects (e.g., closes the browser tab).

Actual Behavior

  • After 2–4 minutes of inactivity, the avatar disappears even though the user’s tab remains open and connected.
  • Sometimes, the avatar remains active with a green border beyond the 2-minute inactivity window.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open the same workflow in two different browser sessions (as different users)/ Have anotehr.
  2. Keep one session inactive for more than 2 minutes (without mouse or keyboard input).
  3. Observe whether the avatar in the other session changes to gray or disappears.

We have 3 states.

  • active (a user who's actively issuing inputs while on the page. eg. mouse movements and key presses)
  • inactive (a user who's on the page but is issuing no user inputs)
  • not connected when a user leaves or is no more connected to a workflow

active -> green border inactive -> gray border not connected -> icon disappears

Since the human Interface to a computer is just a mouse and keyboard. we'll track those two for active users
