I am using Lightning 1.4 with Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:12.0) Gecko/20120429 Firefox/12.0 SeaMonkey/2.9.1.
Since one of the latest Lightning updates (I think it was 1.3) I noticed that alarm popups very often appear to late. With Lightning 1.4 the new "now" indicator (the red bar) was new, so now I see why the alarms appeared too late: the time that Lightning keeps internally often lags behind the real time.
A specialty of my setup may be that I am using it on a Laptop that I frequently suspend. After waking up I see that the software clock of the system is correct while it takes Lightning at least a few minutes (sometimes half an hour) to notice that it was wrong. Just now I woke the laptop up in the morning, the system time clock showed 09:22:32 (Wed 23 May 2012) but Lightning's red line was at ~22:45 on Wed 23 May.
While I am typing this, I set up a test event at 09:42 with an alarm 0 minutes before. It is now 09:46:00 and the alarm still hasn't shown up and the red indicator is still a bit above the alarm.
This is unacceptable.
