Public bug reported: This has been an issue for a long time e.g. as mentioned in http://forums.mudlet.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=92&p=21102#p21102 - in fact the existing code does not behave as the Wiki http://wiki.mudlet.org/w/Manual:Mudlet_Object_Functions#stopStopWatch describes it {I recently added a warning about this}.
The stopStopWatch(...) code is actually the same as the getStopWatch(...) code in the Host class and this breakage comes about because a QTime is used to record the "time" the stopwatch is "started" and it cannot be "stopped" - indeed there does not seem to be an existing Qt element that can be used "as a physical stopwatch as a user might understand it". I have assigned a "medium" importance to this as it ought to be fixed at some stage and it is broken as per the API described in the Wiki. ** Affects: mudlet Importance: Medium Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mudlet Makers, which is subscribed to Mudlet. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1639722 Title: Using the stopStopWatch( watchId ) does not stop the stop watch Status in Mudlet: New Bug description: This has been an issue for a long time e.g. as mentioned in http://forums.mudlet.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=92&p=21102#p21102 - in fact the existing code does not behave as the Wiki http://wiki.mudlet.org/w/Manual:Mudlet_Object_Functions#stopStopWatch describes it {I recently added a warning about this}.
