Im not sure if this is a bug, but when you start boiling gems, it says 3, 2, 1. When it's still counting down to 3 2 1 the timer is still going down for some reason. Is that supposed to be there because your'e basically running out of time before you even start clicking the gems.

The countdown has been added to the Gem Cauldron timer.
If, say, you have 20 seconds to boil something, the Gem Cauldron will start counting down from 23 seconds, at the same time there's the 3-2-1 countdown on the overview.

I think this was implemented when there was a lot of lag between the countdown and the actual Cauldron, meaning that users actually did lose time for the actual boiling. The way it is now, there's no reload necessary, so you can immediately start boiling after the countdown, as opposed to waiting for the actual Cauldron to start up.

tl;dr - Not a bug, just a way to make sure users actually get the time they're promised, rather than lose time as the Cauldron [re]loads for the boiling.
