Calling new Date() while running a progress bar causes the progress bar to never close. Even when the task is complete, I'm unable to close the progress window without restarting After Effects. The issue remains even when using $.hiresTimer instead of new Date().
The expectation is to estimate and display the time remaining inside the progress bar window and have the window close after the task is complete. I've yet to find a workaround.
