Yup.

I saw it as a great idea, when it came out (with '98? I don't remember) but it never worked well, so I tried it with each new "improvement" of windows, but always stopped using it in short order.

As I say, I think the main problem is timestamps -- the "blanks" in the time-frame -- but that's at least 60% assumption; I've never debugged it.

If I've guessed right, then as software (like chrome) gets more and more intrusive about user behaviour, the problem is bound to get worse, so the biggest glitches will show up there first.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!
