Playback sync issue with different time frames

Hello,

I have multiple time based charts open (5min, 60min, 120min etc). Some are ETH, others RTH.
When I start a replay on my main chart, the 5 min- the other charts begin playing from the same time/date as well. Which is what I want.

However- when playing back at a speed faster than 1x, sometimes one or more of the other charts will lag behind, and the price ladder will be at a different price than the main 5min chart.

In addition- sometimes I click 'Pause' on the replay of the 5 min chart, but one or more of the other charts will not pause and keeps playing back. So I click on that other chart (e.g. 60min) that did not pause- and hit 'Pause' on the replay window, which pauses the 60min chart, but then the 5min chart starts to playback. So now I have some charts paused, some charts that are playing back- and everything is out of sync. The intention being to have them all playback and pause at the same time.

This does not seem to work, or introduces another issue-

What I am doing:
Start playback on a ETH chart at 07:00:00 AM, all charts that are ETH start playing back fine at 07:00:00 AM.
However- 5min RTH chart of the ES starts playing from 09:30:00 AM.
So I have a bunch of ETH charts playing back from 7am, but my RTH charts all are starting to playback from 9:30 AM at the same time- when what should happen is that those RTH charts should sit idle until playback hits 9:30am on the other charts.

If I go back and uncheck 'Skip Empty Periods', then this new issue goes away- but I am left with the old one mentioned in my previous post- where they all start off playing at the same time, correctly- but then fall out of sync if the time is sped up- and also some will not pause when the pause button is pressed.

I only notice any lag between charts when I use Standard Replay.

Charts seem to stay synced when using these settings and methods:
-Charts to Replay: All Charts in Chartbook
-Replay Mode: Accurate Trading System BackTest Mode
-Skip Empty Periods is unchecked.
Also:
-Only use Replay panel from one main chart
-Always focus the main chart when Pausing and Playing.
-Never Pause and move chart further in the past; Always Stop and restart replay to move chart into the past.
-Always do everything from the one main chart.
