<p>Hi Elliot,</p>
<blockquote>
<p>clearly we want the most simple solution that is consistent across all platforms. So yes, please feel free to harmonize the time stamps in a logical manner.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>While I do not totally see why across-platform consistency is relevant over different platforms (when you reopen an image on a different platform, there will be a jump in the millisecondClock anyway?), regular event timestamps appear to be consistent (time since host system start) over Windows/Linux. With my PR <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load title" data-id="691165515" data-permission-text="Title is private" data-url="https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/issues/518" data-hovercard-type="pull_request" data-hovercard-url="/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/pull/518/hovercard" href="https://github.com/OpenSmalltalk/opensmalltalk-vm/pull/518">#518</a>, timestamps for DnD events are consistent, too.</p>
<p>Also thank you for the interesting links, but I think they do not affect this PR because <code>GetTickCount()</code> only relies on the host system's clock and such is out of scope for us to sync.</p>
