Sometimes when a build fails, the dashboard table shows the project as failed, yet the build queue is still there running, with that project in the queue, and if you view the log it hasn't finished yet, yet clearly (I'm guessing) the build already knows it has so updates it status, thus it looks out of sync, and lacks trust of correct status.

below is the log for that area if it helps:

Somewhere in the middle of this (usually the log is holding at the stoptomcat bit above) it says it's running but the dash says it's failed and finished.
