Countdown does not work in PGM panel.

The fixed advanced-timer does not countdown in the preview panel of studio mode (unless it is also in the program panel). I don't know if that's by design or if I'm doing something wrong, but I need it to work in both PGM and PVW.

Upon further experimentation, this seems to be the same behavior that happens without Global activation enabled.

Thinking about this a little bit, it may be a tricky problem to solve, because there is really only one timer running, and when you are in studio mode you could have both the program and preview window showing timers, which should theoretically be different. It's a weird situation because of the weird way the preview window works.

Can you tell me a little bit about your use case and how you would use the timer in preview mode? What should happen if you are running the timer in preview mode and then switch to that scene in program mode (should timer reset or continue?).

My timer is a countdown to a specific time of day. I expect it to be the same in all scenes with the designated source whether in Preview, Program, or both. Sometimes my Program scene does not include the countdown source, but my Preview scene does. That's when I want to see it the most, as it tells me when to transition the Preview into Program.
