Hi I have the chart tabs set to "wrap" so they are shown over many rows. I have one chartbook which has many tabs and it expands the bar/zone with chart tabs to quite a large "wrapped" size. If I select that large chartbook, and then I select another chartbook with a smaller set of chart tabs that only fills a single row or two, the zone that contains the chart tabs stays enlarged, it doesn't resize to the new set of tabs. Please refer to screenshot. |

yes it consistent for me. well, 2 issues are consistently interchangeable. 1) sometimes I get to launch with MDI tabs over multiple rows, sometimes I don't get that and its stuck on 1 row despite "Support for multiple rows for MDI tabs" being set to yes. I am trying to figure out what the pattern is for launch with or without multiple MDI tab rows. 2) when I do launch with multiple MDI tab rows each chartbook will have whatever the chartbook with the highest rows has. with my setup that was 6 rows. I have mitigated that by moving that large 6-row chartbook to a 2nd instance. all my other chartbooks are max 2 rows for MDI tabs. However, each chartbook now has 2 rows for MDI tabs even if it only needs 1. It seems to be not resetting for each chartbook. Not a big deal for me now as it sticks on max 2 rows which is not noticeable. I will try to figure out a pattern between a launch with multiple row MDI tabs versus only 1 row, and report back. Another issue, or maybe its now a feature, is the time it takes to switch chartbooks. If the chartbook is large, i.e. many charts, SC seems to cycle through each chart/window and it maybe deactivates it (?) before moving to the next chartbook. Switching between small chartbooks it's barely noticeable. Switching away from a large chartbook its very noticeable and causes a big pause/delay. I can just about live with it but it is mildly annoying and not as seamless as it was to switch away-from/to large chartbooks as it was on the previous version. I realise I am a fairly uncommon user of SC with large chartbooks of many charts, but if that switch-speed in anyway could be improved for large chartbooks that would be good. thanks. overall I do like the new chart windows, once everything is loaded they are rapid and responsive!

We will figure out the issue with the tab bar size. This is definitely resolvable by us: Another issue, or maybe its now a feature, is the time it takes to switch chartbooks.

I updated to the latest version - this has solved the delay in switching large chartbooks, it is very fast now. I still have a persistent problem with chart tab rows. They either appear only over 1 row across each chartbook (and hide the 2nd row if it is a 2 row chartbook) or I get no tabs/rows at all across each chartbook. The only way for me to get the correct number of rows back is turn off MDI chart tabs in the settings, close and restart SC, and then once loaded switch MDI chart tabs back on again. Then SC correctly displays 1 or 2 rows of chart tabs with nothing hidden. If I don't go through that step before I shut down, then 100% of the time it will restart with either 0 rows or only 1 row across each chartbook. Turning MDI tabs off and back on without restarting SC has no effect. |
