I am running Version 2865. I am missing the Chart Tabs, Scroll Bar, and Menus at the bottom of the Chartbooks in Instance #2. Is there a setting to turn that on?

Here is the command for the Chart Menu:
Chart Menu: Show Menu (Chart menu)

And for the Chart Scrollbar:
Chart Menu: Show Scrollbar (Chart menu)

And for the MDI/Chart Tabs:
General Settings Window: Use MDI Window Tabs (Global Settings >> General Settings >> Windows >> Window Tabs)

John,

In Instance #2, I went to Global Settings >> General Settings >> Windows >> Window Tabs. The 'Use MDI Window Tabs' is set to Yes but the MDI Window Tabs are NOT showing in the Chartbooks for Instance #2. Switching 'Use MDI Window Tabs' from Yes to No back to Yes has no effect.

I went to Instance #1 and switched 'Use MDI Window Tabs' from Yes to No back to Yes and the MDI Window Tabs disappear and reappear as expected.

'Use MDI Window Tabs' set to Yes in Instance #2 does NOT show the MDI Window Tabs. I am using identical settings in Instance #1 and Instance #2.

Update: After restarting my PC and Sierra Chart, the MDI Window Tabs are not showing at the bottom in both instances now, even though 'Use MDI Windows Tabs' is set to Yes for both. I am running Windows 10 and Sierra Chart Version 2865.

We need to do a remote assistance call with you to look at this. But this will need to wait towards the end of this week. Or the weekend.

I downloaded Version 2867 and the MDI Window Tabs are showing in both instances now. This is no longer an issue in Version 2867.
