Entering debug mode causes game to desync from system clock (or so I assume)

Bug Description:  After enabling the debug menu (DM) from the console, the game speeds up noticeably.  All game functions including movement, mining, and the game clock become accelerated (about 3 times faster than normal).  This only ever happens after accessing the debug menu, and it is repeatable.  Exiting and restarting the game resets normal game speed.

The first time I noticed this was after I had spawned some zombies to test a blood-moon base.  The second time I used the debug menu to access the teleport option.

 

Detailed steps to reproduce the bug:

 

1) Press F1

2) type "dm" into the command console and press <ENTER>

3) Continue to play game

 

Actual result: See description

 

Expected result: Anything but this.

You likely were hitting numpad + after enabling DM, which its function is just that. Enabling DM alone won't do this.

Ah, that could be.  I'm using a custom keypad for the left hand and one of the key assignments is Num+.  I'll investigate further and report if this doesn't jive with your assessment.  Thanks!
