breaks option does not work

[rad]

i run the time entry and add a break.  when i invoice i get the total hours work, with the break ignored. 
the total does not reflect the break. work from 8am to 5 pm with a 1 hour break. when i invoice i thought the total should be 9-1=8, but i am getting 9 hours.  i understand that the break does not show on the invoice but i thought it will reflect in total hours worked.

what am i doing wrong?

using version 6.2.2

Thanks for the help.

The breaks subtracts from the total Duration.  Check your Start and Stop Times.  e.g. if your Start time is 9am and your Stop Time is 6pm, that would be the 9 hours.  With a 1hr Break, that would bring it down to 8 hours.  You probably have a Start & Stop time that, in your case is 10 hours. (e.g. Start 8am, Stop 6pm).

I did a time entry like you mentioned.
input 9am to 6pm which gave me 9 hours total.  After that i added 1, 2, 3 hour breaks, noticed the stop time got incremented by the same amount of break time added 1, 2, 3 hours. So start time 9am and stop time 7, 8, 9pm, which kept the total hours at 9 hours.
