Possible Bug: Task Completion Time setpoint from prior task time in Queue

How did you install WebODM (docker, installer, etc.)?

Docker

What's your browser and operating system? (Copy/paste the output of https://www.whatismybrowser.com/)

Microsoft Edge Beta, Flatpak, Version 99.0.1150.30 Alpine Linux 3.15 Edge, x64

What is the problem?

When processing multiple tasks on a single node in a queue, the subsequent tasks' processing times begin at something like 33s less than the final processing time of the preceeding task.

So:
Task 1: Starts at 0:00 Task 1: Finishes at 5:00 Task 2: Starts at 4:27 Task 2: Finishes at 10:00 Task 3: Starts at 09:27 Task 3: Finishes at 15:00

How can we reproduce this? (What steps trigger the problem? What parameters are you using for processing? Include screenshots. If you are having issues processing a dataset, you must include a copy of your dataset uploaded on Dropbox, Google Drive or https://dronedb.app)

My computer was laggy enough that I missed both transitions. Difference in task processing time between the three identical tasks likely due to laptop on battery, thermal throttling/scaling, and swapping out to eMMC drive.

Initial State:

Task 1 to Task 2 Transition:

Same behavior for tasks processed under WebODM Manager/Docker/WSL2 backend over Windows 11:

WebODM for Windows native v1.9.12 Build 55:
Initial State:

Final State:

Same behavior as the Dockerized versions in regards to enqueued jobs starting with a non-zero task processing time.

Video showing task switchover, and jumping from NULL time to prior task's time(ish):

Still valid for WebODM for Windows native v1.9.14 Build 61 and current Docker:
