Contradiction / time bug at last move?

I've already experienced this in a few games, but now I finally took a screenshot also, so it can be investigated further...

Basically, it looks the interface has a glitch at the very last move: it shows that I lose on time AFTER I made my last move (i.e. on my opponent's time).

Please take a look at the Imgur screenshot below (not sure how to embed it): my last move (h4) shows as being made, although the clock seems to have ended right before it (loss on time). What is interesting is that if I refresh the page, the last move is indeed not shown.

Can developer please look into this and fix?

Thanks.

I am not sure if that is a bug. It is in the nature of playing remotely. You made your move and it shows in your local browser, but it takes some time to reach the server and in this case it doesnt make it in time.

In chess.com this also happens, but it displays a message like "your last move 44. h4 did not reach the server in time" or something like that.
@lentopastel -- Thanks for clarifying. I think a similar message would be nice to have on Lichess too.

Not sure if any developers are seeing this or how to add it as a feature request. Anyone?
And another one:

@thibault -- I really apologize for this, but I don't know how to get a developer to look at this. It's the 3rd time it happens to me in the last 2 days: it seems my last move somehow doesn't register or doesn't reach the Lichess server.

Did a speed test and I have 120Mb / 20Mb connection, with basically very low lag.

Any idea why this is happening or what can be done? Or perhaps who else I could ask from the devs?

Thanks + once again, sorry for flagging you like this, Thibault.
