Yet another option. One may use for the 'it-pauses-until-coming-back'-test a gif that counts in seconds from 0 up to 100: giphy.com/gifs/TCJTqRAxRbhGU (repeatCount=-1) Note. If you go to a different window (of LC or not), leaving the running gif on the top card of its window, then the gif keeps going on, whether hidden by another window or not.
