Public bug reported:

When it is just past the start time of an event, the indicator lists
that event as 'x minutes ago'. At an initial glance, this doesn't look
much different from an event scheduled in the future, and takes me a
couple of seconds to register that the event is in-progress.

After an hour or so, the event is simply listed with its start time,
which looks identical to a future event, and takes even more time to
process that it is an in-progress event.

Proposed solution: An in-progress event should display its time as
'Now'.
