overlap-max value is not functioning as expected

This is my Saturday evening schedule

        <time title="random" type="movie" strict-time="true" time-shift="15" overlap-max="60">19:30</time>
        <time title="Seinfeld" type="series" strict-time="false" time-shift="15" overlap-max="20">21:00</time>
        <time title="King of the Hill" type="series" strict-time="false" time-shift="15" overlap-max="20">21:30</time>
        <time title="The Simpsons" type="series" strict-time="false" time-shift="15" overlap-max="20">22:00</time>
        <time title="Futurama" type="series" strict-time="true" time-shift="15" overlap-max="20">22:30</time>
        <time title="Quantum Leap" type="series" strict-time="true" time-shift="15" overlap-max="30">23:00</time>

This is set up to allow for Seinfeld, King of the Hill and the Simpsons to follow a movie that isn't long enough to fill three hours. The intended behavior is to allow each of those shows to get bumped back 15 minutes once, then cancelled if the movie runs over.

What happened though is that the shows didn't get cancelled and were pushed back into the strict time part of the schedule (I removed commercials for readability)

222 Movies A.I. Artificial Intelligence 07:30:00 PM 228 TV Shows Seinfeld The Pick 10:00:00 PM 231 TV Shows King of the Hill Wings of the Dope 10:30:00 PM 234 TV Shows The Simpsons Treehouse of Horror XV 11:00:00 PM 235 TV Shows Futurama 31st Century Fox 10:30:00 PM 241 TV Shows Quantum Leap Another Mother 11:00:00 PM

The script started playback for the duplicate time entries in order, so at 11 the Simpsons started briefly then Quantum Leap fired off and continued to play.

I was using the develop branch version committed at 14:32 PDT (UTC-7) Aug 6 2017.

I actually haven't messed with overlap-max at all. I just added the field in the xml and kind of forgot about it. I'm going to add that in but first want to tackle any big bugs that pop up in the app as-is. I've gotten a little weirdness in my schedule this morning and hope to figure that out, other than that it seems to be running ok. I'll look into all of this when home.
