Hi,

Is there a way to lock a locked fill space chart? What I mean is to lock it completely so that the chart wont move at all (except move with the current time).
many times charts that I use (which have locked fill space turned on) moving slightly to a previous bar and I miss the current live bar.
if not - can u pls add this feature?

There is not a way to full lock a chart. But there are some things you can do to help alleviate the issue.
- Remove the scroll bar:
Chart Menu: Show Scrollbar (Chart menu)

- Set the scroll wheel on your pointing device to not include a scrolling option:
General Settings Window: Scroll Wheel Setting (Global Settings >> General Settings >> GUI >> Scroll)

- Ensure you are not using the "Hand" tool which can move the chart.
Chart Drawing Tools: Hand


With the above, the only way to then move the chart is with the Control Bar buttons, arrow keys, or Page Up/Down.
