**Version:** v1.9.0.beta5 +119 (latest as of 11th Aug)

### Steps to reproduce:

1. Spanner \> “Set Topic Timer”
2. “Close Temporarily”
3. “When” \> “Pick Date and Time”
4. Select time a minute into the future (I have tried with longer times)
5. Wait a minute

### Expected

Topic reopens, with an action message automatically posted to say the topic has re-opened

### Actual

Topic remains closed:

Thanks @ChrisBeach, this was a regression from a previous commit I made. Added more tests in the process of fixing.
