Brian G reported a new bug.

Summary
-------

If timer is enabled more than once each enable doubles the speed of the timer

Type             : Bug
Priority         : High
Gambas version   : Master
Product          : Development Environment


Description
-----------

I know its not proper, but if you enable a timer in a module more than once(yes incorrectly) the timer will double in speed each time

I am not sure if this is a bug or a feature.

The following code is example:

Public MyTimer As New Timer As "ATimer"

Public Sub Main()
  Dim x As String
  Print "Hello world"
  MyTimer.delay = 2000
  MyTimer.enabled = True
  While True
   'Line Input x
   Wait 5
   Print ">";
   MyTimer.enabled = True
  Wend

End


Public Sub ATimer_Timer()
  
  Print ".";
  Flush
End
