I was looking at my tasks and noticed something reeeaaaallly strange. Checking closer, I found the following oddity:

09se10aa.3791.16836.7.34.221_1 Elapsed: 03:06:40 Estimated: 87600:00:00

09se10aa.3791.16836.7.34.221_1 Elapsed: --- Estimated: 00:23:41

Duplicate WU, the second with the same Remaining estimate as the rest of that series, but the computer was working on the majorly screwed-up one. It had already wasted hours on it, so I aborted it. The second one disappeared and the wack one was reported. With more wackness:
Run time 3 hours 6 min 40 sec
CPU time 17 sec

Sounds like a GUI hiccup. You might try updating to the current released version of the BOINC client.

It does not make it any better when BOINC Manager chooses to display the progress of the tasks in days rather than hours, minutes and seconds.

At least when it comes to version 7.6.22 of the Manager.

The previous display of the progress was easier to read and should be reverted back at if not already so.
