The software remote display timeout isn't suspended while in the configuration dialog. So, if you aren't quick enough to type in -1 and click OK, then it could time out on you and turn the monitor off while you are just trying to disable the feature. I'm generally not quick enough when a keyboard isn't present (touch screen).
This crops up because I would like a 10 second timeout for normal usage, but during testing, I want to have the screen always on.
This is in the WinX86 SWRemote.exe by the way.
