Summary0000855: Song length / position counter starts when entering a note
Description

When you insert a new note in the pattern, the estimated song length / position counter in the lower-right corner of the screen is resetted to zero and starts to count from 0:00:01 (hours:minutes:seconds) on, although the song is stopped. This doesn't happen when entering an effect, or volume column value in the pattern. You can stop this counter with the stop-button (or set key on the keyboard for that).

TagsNo tags attached.

Yes, because the counter always runs while playback is active (entering an effect does not enable playback). As mentioned before, calculating the current song position in seconds is complicated for legacy mod files and an expensive operation, hence I'd rather not update the play time for something as simple as entering a note.

Thanks for the quick reply. I see. Well, I don't demand exact second-precise length estimation anymore here, but instead: Just do nothing (don't resent) the counter when entering a note. Possible or not? If not, it's no problem at all, as it's not really a major bug (if it's at all a bug), so if not possible, just leave this unchanged/as is and you can close this issue here.

No, it would require adding a lot of logic for basically no gain.
