I have been using FreeFileSinc since v5.21 (Sept 2013), and saw something very strange for the first time ever: the display started flashing, and updated incorrectly. I allowed the process to finish, then took screenshots.

I forgot to add: I am still on v9.1, so this may have been fixed since. I thought you may be interested in this anomaly. It probably won't happen again.
Congratulations on an excellent product.

Interesting. I believe what happened was that your system clock was off by one minute, then during synchronization the clock was adjusted by connecting to an online time server.
The reason why FFS is using the system clock in this case rather than a steady clock is that latter are prone to overflow (as it seemed) after a few days of running. Maybe it's time to revisit this design decision.
