Timer bug

Hi, I've got a bug that is quite annoying.

If I leave my game on for a while (when I'm not at my computer) it seems all the timers start to not work fine.

-ALL- timers are always showing 8 seconds less than they should.

Example 1:
I cast Stoneskin II on myself. The effect stays for 5 minutes. At the top, the timer starts at 4:52. (I restart the game and then it start at 4:59 like it should)

Example 2:
A monster cast Silence on me. I don't know how long it should stay, but in the top of the screen, when the timer reach 0:00, it stays at 0:00 for about 8 seconds before going away. Restarting the game also fix this...

Example 3:
When I use Thunder 2 (or any skill like that) the recast counter starts at 4 seconds and it should the skill can already be used... but if I try to use it, it won't work. I still have to wait the full 14.5 seconds.

In every case, it seems to be fixed by restarting the game and it happened when I left the game on for many hours.
