Problem Description

Delta Time Doesn't Work as Expected

Attach a Capx

Done.

Description of Capx

Supposed to be a framerate independent increase over time.

Steps to Reproduce Bug

Observed Result

Supposed to be a framerate independent increase over time. However switching to another tab does increase wallclocktime as expected, but delta time doesn't seem to be accumulating properly. I have created a work around though with my own delta time variable using wallclocktime.

Closing as not a bug. Set the text object to smuggler*dt and you'll notice it's about 0.4. Since you round the result you get 0. dt is working correctly, you are just rounding it to zero.
