New to version 3 - inactivity settings not working for me

Trying to mimic the behavior I had with version 2 of PWB on windows xp with the PWB version 3 on windows 7. I can't seem to get the inactivity section to work as I'd like. Do not need anything fancy, just want the user returned to the home page upon extended inactivity - say five minutes.

At present the user receives no warning text, and the browser never returns to the home page - it stays on whatever page the user last looked at.

I also tried having the InactivityAction set to Restart - same result: nothing

So, what obvious issue am i overlooking?

-------------------------------------------
[Security]
...
RestartOnClose=True


[Inactivity]
InactivityTimer=TRUE
InactivitySeconds=30
InactivityMessageFile=Inactivity.html
InactivityAction=exit <- also tried "Home" and "Restart"
InactivityStartOnOpen=False
InactivityShowDialog=True
ResetOnMouseMove=True
ResetOnMouseButton=True
ResetOnKeyboard=True

--------------------------------------------

turned time down to 30 seconds for testing. Seems like it never actually "times out"

Thank you

What version of PWB are you using including the minor revision number, for example PWB 3.04.1 CEF?

Does the page you are testing have an auto refresh? This can cause the PWB inactivity timer not to count down.

Do you have [Browser] DisableExit=True? This will cause PWB not to exit.

Version 3.0.3.9

Testing with plain static web page

Ah, DisableExit=True was set - see, I said it was obvious.
