Animation freezes when timer counter overflows (int32, milliseconds since last reboot)

Had no issues building it on aarch64 but encountered a minor bug: some buttons stuck in hover state (see the attached gif).

The bug appears only on my remote aarch64 server:

$ uname -a
Linux instance-20211022-2042 5.11.0-1021-oracle #22~20.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 22 21:42:24 UTC 2021 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

I've tried to build it locally and it seems to work just fine:

$ uname -a
Linux pc 5.4.72-microsoft-standard-WSL2 #1 SMP Wed Oct 28 23:40:43 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

vtm and gcc versions on both machines:

$ vtm -h
Monotty Desktopio v0.5.9999j

$ gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 11.1.0-1ubuntu1~20.04) 11.1.0

Will provide more info if needed. Impressive software btw! 👍

This behavior occurs when the system has problems with the timer. This often occurs when the system needs to restart after installing system updates.

Could you please confirm that this is not the case. So far, I have not been able to reproduce it in another way.

UPDATE:
This behavior occurs when the system has problems with the timer. This often occurs when the system uptime is greater than ~1 Month.

Yep, you're totally right, fixed by rebooting. Thanks!

In case of some system failure, std::chrono::steady_clock always returns the same value.

std::chrono::steady_clock::now returns the time point since the last reboot.

e.g.:
1 Month    = 2629800000 Milliseconds
max<int32> = 2147483647
