I have a container with a TIMER that has the INTERVAL set to 1 minute. It is ENABLED (or disabled) in the REFRESH of the container. That refresh is visited each 10 seconds.

I noticed that the timer did no longer fire each minute if its ENABLED.property is explicitly set to True each 10 seconds.

It does fire if I only set the ENABLED property if its new value differs from the current value.

It seems as though the ENABLED property acts as some sort of RESET().

Who can explain this? Or do I miss a clue?
