I updated from an old, no longer supported version of Sierra Chart to the latest 2933.

1. I have two instances of Sierra Chart running on separate monitors.
2. I have over a dozen charts (child windows) in the chartbook, which are identical in both instances. Every child window is in a Restored state.
3. If I select a child window from the list in the CW menu list to switch another child window, then this selected child window has opend in a Maximize state. (BUG)
4. If I select a Restored command, then this child window returned in the Restored state, but disappear another child Window. (BUG)
5. These bugs only appear on the instance on the second monitor.

Check how this setting is set:
Global Settings >> General Settings >> Windows >> Main Menu >> CW Menu Selection Action for MDI Chart Windows : {"Activate", "Restore", "Maximize", "Hide Current, Maximize Selected"}

Set it the way that you want. Probably Activate.
