I've just finished this puzzle (took around 34 minutes) but after hitting the close button, it's showing as started but not completed. I had the same on another puzzle last week. I suspect it's to do with my internet connection or device being slow - perhaps I closed too quickly, before my completion time had been recorded.
I'm not expecting anything can be done about it, I'm just expressing my disappointment! I was pleased to have completed without using aids and that isn't going to be reflected in the stats.

I had a very slow connection to puzzlemix this morning as well, so it might be a general problem.
As for closing: wait until it shows that the time has been recorded ("Your time was ..."). Maybe hit "retry" once or twice.

winterer has good advice, although even better would be if I made it more obvious when the save had failed. The trouble is, mind, that it doesn't know in advance it is going to fail - usually it will succeed even if it doesn't get as far as showing your time.

Key
A yellow/light blue highlight in the time distribution charts highlights your time, where relevant.
Rating scores out of 10.0 show the average difficulty rating chosen by users, where 1.0 is "Easy" and 10.0 is "Hard".
If a puzzle is opened more than once, including by loading from a saved position, then this is potentially a significant aid so it is listed as being completed with 'multiple sessions' for the purpose of the best time/average rating displays above.
Minor aid is defined as no more than one use of 'Check solution' when incomplete and/or no more than one use of 'Check solution' when wrong; and/or using highlighting aids (show repeated digits, show broken inequalities and show valid/invalid placements [slitherlink] only). Major aid is any and all other use of the solving aids except for 'show wrong'.
I'm not expecting anything can be done about it, I'm just expressing my disappointment! I was pleased to have completed without using aids and that isn't going to be reflected in the stats.
