Is there a fix , or can I hack the code, to unlock the screens when timer-record is set?

When I set the record timer; My screen saver is prevented; I cannot change the line-in setting; I can’t enable silent monitoring; ; and I am not allowed to move the Audacity window. Why is this?

When recording, screen saver is prevented.

Is it a switch somewhere to fix this “feature”?
Is it a line of code that I can change at my own risk?
Other?

It’s built into the operating system, and not part of Audacity.

The reason for it is when you are running a multimedia program like a DVD player, it won’t shut off the screen before the movie finishes.
