Hotkey bugs: +5/-5sec Stopwatch Start/Stop hotkey

Hello! Before all, huge thanks for great software tool, I love it - simple, clean and efficient. However, probably only in the most recent version, some strange bug with the Start/Stop hotkey is happening (in Stopwatch mode):

The hotkey for Start/Stop adds 5 seconds to the display when it's used for Start, and -5 seconds, when it's used for Stop. Meanwhile, the menu buttons Start/Stop work as expected and don't add/subtract anything from the time. This produces 3 bugs:

1. When only using hotkeys, one sees the Stopwatch with +5 seconds while it's running. If the user only cares about the result in stopped mode, and doesn't watch the timing as it's running, there's no real problem, because the shown stopped timing is correct. But otherwise this +5 sec, during run, is confusing.
2. If you Start, using hotkey (instant +5 seconds), and then Stop, using the menu - the error of +5 seconds remains, so if you do this rapidly, in a few seconds you can get the Screen to show over 30 seconds etc.
3. If you Start, using menu (normal start), and then quickly Stop, using hotkey (instant -5 seconds), the time becomes negative, so it gets reset to the maximum integer of that variable - some very very large integer (~ 17 decimals).

It seems like an easy error to correct. ;) Again, thank you for this extremely useful software, despite the minor hotkey issue.
