Bid and ask prices, last bar problem

Please see image with Bid and ask prices study on the main price graph. For the last bar in my 1 minute AAPL chart the bid and ask jumps aggressively above market. Offer always jumps to $316 for AAPL, with bid 22 ticks below. This remains true regardless of the end date of my chart download, and regardless of the end time for the trading session, changed in Session Times. It applies to all symbols I tested, but sometimes the bid and ask drops aggressively below the last bar in the chart. The market is currently shut. It seems possible that the study is loading the current realtime BBO in the pre market and applying that to the last bar in the chart, regardless of date or time of that bar. Is there anyway to stop that?

Yes we do actually see this is the case. We will add a setting to disable this:

This will be out, later today.
