Sudoku timer does not resume on saved games

Thanks for the report, may you tell us a few steps in order to reproduce that behavior? also may you take an screenshot of the issue? thanks.

This is Ibex 8.10

To reproduce:

Open a game, play for any length of time but don't finish. Close the game either via the window close or Game->Close. Open Sudoku and 'Saved Games' showes the stats, for instance "Last Played 4 seconds ago. Played for 8 seconds" After resuming this game the timer never starts back up, so no matter how long I play, even if I complete the game, the timer will always show 8 seconds or whatever the initial timing was. Happens every time with every level of game.

I'll get some screenshots or a screencast to show but it should be easy to reproduce. It has been happening since Ibex Alpha 2.

Thanks.

Pic 1: New Game
Pic 2: Input some values, then closed screen
Pic 3: I had the session in Pic 2 open for 31 seconds
Pic 4: Finish the game..this was easy so it only took me a couple of minutes, but timer still shows 31 seconds, same as pic 3

I shouldn't say it has been happening since alpha 2, just that I installed at alpha 2 and it has been happening since. Never had the problem with Heron.

ok got it, confirming, thanks you.

I've sent this upstream at: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=556155 , thanks for reporting.

this has been fixed upstream already, comment from upstream: "Should be fixed in branch and trunk. The fix will not work with old savegames as time was not correctly stored in them."

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-games - 1:2.24.1-0ubuntu1
