I will file a bug report with all observations. I will create a patch for the text string "Now:" and attach to the bug report. Actually, I think I'll push the patch to GIT and mention the commit in the bug report. At least the text no longer will mislead users about the purpose.

I remember the patch from a long time ago when I started using Trinity because the box is not part of 3.5.10. The patch is from the old Chakra distro, commit d8b40941, 2010-09-07:
