Timer widget won't synchronise with playhead

Hi there,

I have inserted the timer widget in a project to let the learner know how much time is left on an audio recording. So, say the audio is 5 minutes. the widget is set to countdown from 5 minutes etc. I want the learner to be able to stop and start the project using the playbar and obviously the countdown needs to stop as well.. However when the project is stopped like this, the timer continues to countdown even though I have set it to synchronise with the project.

Would anyone be able to help me here.

Thanks very much
