Yesterday I played several Blitz games and noticed some weird clock behavior. The position was hopeless for me but I had around 25s and my opponent had 5s, so it turned in a game who moves his pieces faster. I am 100% sure that I saw several times as my opponent's clock was counting like 5.0, 4.7, 4.3 then 5.0 again. The opponent moved his pieces very fast and I could see his clock reset back 5.0 several times, while my clock was slowly decrementing. I feel like this is a bug of the software, something wrong with the synchronization. I am playing using Mozilla on Ubuntu 20. Has anybody else seen this issue?
