Backtest jumps forward 40 candles

When I use forward mode (play button), the backtest periodically jumps ahead (e.g. 40 candles).

When I am on M15 chart (with M15 step), it goes candle by candle as expected - until 00:00 UTC, when it jumps exactly to 10:00 UTC every day (+40 candles).
And the same happens when I click next candle manually (instead of forward mode) at 00:00, it will also jump to 10:00.
I suppose it is a bug. Or maybe it is intended and there is a setting that I am missing?

Another, different variant of that beahaviour, happens during the day on random occasions.
Sometimes in forward mode backtest time is going forward, but no new candles are appearing.
When it happens, I stop the forward mode and click 'previous candle' and all the missing candles appears at once.

This should fix your issue,
