Unable to Minimize Attached Chart Windows in Chartbook

Hello,

From one day to the next, I am no longer able to minimize chart windows that are attached within a chartbook.

This was working normally before and started happening suddenly. I have already tried the following without success:

Installing the latest prerelease version
Delete All Data and Download
Reset window positions
Reset dialog/window locations
Restarting Sierra Chart and Windows
etc...

The issue affects multiple charts and seems related to how the windows are handled (they do not behave like normal MDI windows anymore).

I am attaching a short video showing the exact behavior.

Could you please advise on what might be causing this and how to resolve it?

Thank you for your help.

There is this new setting to control, the minimize behavior. Refer to:
General Settings Window: MDI Child Window Minimize Method (List) (Global Settings >> General Settings >> GUI >> Multiple Document Interface (MDI) and Custom Title Bar Settings)
