I regularly play 5-minute per phase games.

The countdown clock appears at the top left in red but never counts down from 5 minutes. Occasionally it only counts down from a start of less than half a minute though it seems that the most common start is about a minute and a half.

Once the clock counts down to zero, I would expect the phase to end, that orders are no longer able to be processed, the moves be made and the next phase, whether it be retreats, builds or the next phase, to come into play. Even though I refresh the screen, it is evident that we're still in the same phase and orders can continue to be entered and or modified. Occasionally, for a duration of a split second, you can see another countdown clock, this time in black. I continually refresh the screen because there is no telling when the phase actually ends.

And more than once, though admittedly not very often, once the new phase has begun I've had just seconds to get my orders in - its as if a phase had already started and I have been unable to access the new phase and that by the time I've been granted access there remains little time left.

I've gotten into the habit of entering a single order, pressing save, and then continuing onto the next order, and pressing save again.

I'm wondering if there is a display setting or something I need to change to rectify this problem. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
