fselector deactivates all forms (unless the fselector has
its own callback), thus all objects on all forms, including
timers, cease to react to events. Although timer continues
counting, and possibly expires, its callback is not invoked
until the form is activated, which in your case, is when
the fselector goes away. You can either use timeout
to hide the fselector or register an fselector callback
to avoid deactivating the forms.
