scheduler does not start?

Now that I am back from vacation I wanted to try the scheduler with KStars 2.9.7 for the first time. I started the scheduled job after the planned start time, but the scheduler did not start the job, but went idle with the message sleeping till <start time> which had already passed.

Is this a known issue in the new version?

Replied by Eric on topic Re:scheduler does not start?

That could be August next year, but I'm not convinced :)

I spotted a problem with seconds calculation in QDateTime when the result should be negative. And 22:28 to 22:33 is precisely the 5-minute lead time after which a job is aborted. That could very well be an edge case of this feature.

I have a commit for this in my test queue, but for another reason: the logs saying "job is passed by" on fixed-start jobs that are more than one day in the past are indicating the passed time with a 24-hour modulo (day-old job marked passed by 15 minutes). Let's see if I can reproduce and use that fix. Thanks for reporting!
