Just to summarize what others have already written: using screens,
10-15 s is rarely a tempo break. If in a specific case it is a break
and is attributable to a known player, the usual UI rules apply. If it
isn't a tempo break at all, then players are free to do whatever they want.
The advantage of screens (or at least one advantage) is that tempo
breaks are much rarer than without them.
