Describe the Bug

Firmware version: CrossInk v1.4.0
Device: Xteink X4
File format: .xtc

Description

The "Time Left" status bar option (Settings > Reader > Customize Status Bar >
Time Left) does not display during reading when opening an .xtc file, regardless
of whether it's set to "Chapter" or "Book" mode.

The underlying data IS being calculated correctly — it shows up in
Home > Reading Stats, e.g.:

  • Total time: 2 min
  • Time Left: 6m

But this same value never appears in the in-reader status bar while reading,
in either the top or bottom XTC status bar position.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open an .xtc file
  2. Go to Settings > Reader > Customize Status Bar
  3. Set "Time Left" to "Chapter"
  4. Return to the book and read through at least one full chapter
  5. Observe: no time estimate appears in the status bar
  6. Change "Time Left" to "Book" instead — still does not appear
  7. Change "XTC Status Bar" position from "Bottom" to "Top" — field still
    does not appear (only reorganizes existing fields into two bars)
  8. Go to Home > Reading Stats — confirm "Time Left" value IS calculated and shown there

Expected Behavior

"Time Left" should appear in the in-reader status bar for XTC files, same as it
does for EPUB, since the underlying reading-pace data is clearly being tracked
(confirmed via the Reading Stats screen).

Actual behavior

The field is configurable in the Status Bar settings menu, but never renders
during actual XTC reading, in either Chapter or Book mode, or in either bar position.

Relevant Log Output/Screenshots

Other status bar fields (Chapter Page Count, Book Progress Percentage, Chapter 
Title) display correctly for XTC — this appears specific to the "Time Left" field.
