Extra Hours added in Solitaire events

I enjoy participating in the Solitaire events every couple of days, but please explain how it can add 7-8 hours against my time. I play before and after work, but when I check my morning time after completing about half the challenges in 35 mins, when I
go back to complete the rest, after completing the 1st in my afternoon session, alll of a sudden the elapsed time shows 8 hours 20 mins. Surely you don't get time added when not playing and not even having the game open. Disappointed.

Hours added to a Solitaire event while absent

I feel like this message to Support, was not only heard, but acted upon also. I have tested the waters twice, (leaving an Event, because I had to...then returning later), since this post, and my actual playing time was recorded. I'd like to personally thank
MS Support for fixing the problem.

 

Hours added to a Solitaire event while absent

I found several discussions in the forum, where the hours logged out of a Solitaire event, are added on to the total playing time, when a player returns to finish an event. I'm guessing, that the start time in the USA is 10am. Our start time, on the other
hand, is 10pm, per event. I try to do as much as I can before I go to bed, then I finish up the next day. This morning (12.10am), my total time was pleasing to me, 28mins, for a score of 2300 (in a Freecell event). This evening I resumed play, did a couple
of challenges, checked my time on the leader board, there was only 19hrs in front of it. I nearly quit then and there, but I hoped, there was an autocorrect (like for spelling) that would somehow, be applied, to be fair. My average time, of
1hr 45mins to 2hrs 15min has just been wrecked by a 20hr stint. How embarrassing! What will the friends on my mini leader board think? DOH...Please develop and apply an autocorrect, for event time totals.
