[Bug] Timestamp renders "in a few seconds" for current time #3099

Description

Description

If Timestamp is given the time "right now" it will sometimes show "in a few seconds". My guess is the internal "now" reference is lagging the real clock, but didn't look at code to confirm. Confusing for a UI that has an action that updates timestamp on that action though.

Click "doit" to update timestamp to "right now" and notice how it changes to "in a few seconds"
