Buff timer during cutscenes and dialogues

[maia]

One thing that strongly irritated me in KOTOR was that the buff timer ran merrily on during the cutscenes and dialogues. If I was fighting somebody that indulged in a lot of talking, my buffs would be stripped all the time (but FPs won't regenerate to compensate, no sir) and my first character even died _after_ defeating Malak because my buffs ran out dueing his last oratory. Has this been fixed?
