Hi Sierra Chart Engineering,
Updated from v2933 to v2934 and noticed errors when closing my chartbook. Same one I have used for a *long* time reliably.

Can send entire log if you want, privately, but in general:

We need to be able to reproduce this. We need to get, the particular chart with its study, that is causing this.

You never indicated this was fixed, so am assuming you are still investigating. Just updating that I see this in v2935 pre-release as well.

For me, using the chartbook I attached above, I do not see the issue the first time I open and close the chartbook. I see it after I close it and reopen it.
I also updated to latest Nvidia drivers and still repros.

Sierra, if you cannot repro happy to share my screen, connect debugger/etc. Reach out privately via my acct email or txt.

FYI: I see no difference in behavior with Use Compatible OpenGL Profile Yes or No (my normal setting), and the logs are same with Enable OpenGL Debug output (Slow) set to Yes.

I see the errors with a couple chartbooks open, and switch between them while they are both open. I know the title here says on close, but it happens for me while the chartbooks are open and active. I don't see any other negative symptoms, other than the log messages.

The log messages I posted are from an AMD Radeon Pro W6600 on Sierra v2939.

I just tested with a Nvidia Tesla P4 and the same errors filled the logs doing the same switching between chartbooks. I went back to Sierra v2915 and the errors do not happen there, at least with the Nvidia system.
