If(false) - pause still executes, logs print 'executing' when it doesn't for lines it skipped

If you have a pause in an if block that failed, the pause will still execute, adding unnecessary time to the test case.

Script:

storeEval | new Date() | startTime
if | 1 === 2 | 
pause |  | 10000
storeEval | new Date() | doesntExecute
else |  | 
storeEval | new Date() | endTime
endif |  |

Output:

As you can see the endTime has 10 unnecessary seconds added on. It would also be useful if it indicated it skipped a line Executing: | storeEval | new Date() | doesntExecute | instead of “Executing” when it doesn’t execute because the if block failed.

Yep, it’s a bit confusing sometimes. Especially when I have a lot of if and gotoLabel. What is interesting if You run this second time it goes as it should but with over 100 testcase in one go…
