Hello ,
I have open several chartbooks at once and always when changing them and click on another chartbook, the main Controlbar changes to disabled. Then I have to click on any chart in this chartbook and only then the controlbar is again enabled. This is very confusing. I need to have this Main Controlbar always enabled as it used to be in the previous upgrades. I use only main Controlbar for all chartbooks and charts.

And second problem I have with displaying charts in one chartbook when these charts are laying over each other. For example I have NQ chart laying over YM chart and when I want to see YM chart I just click on it. But when I change the chartbook and come back this chartbook then YM chart lays always on top of NQ chart. I want to change it that I always see NQ chart first, but don't know how to do it.

1. The way it works now is correct. There was a problem in previous versions related to this and that problem was fixed.

This will not change. There was a problem with this before.

The only thing we may consider is that when switching Chartbooks and there is a detached chart, we may automatically set the focus to the last active one. But we have to see about that. The Control Bar cannot have buttons enabled when there is not a known active chart window.


2. You can control the chart ordering through the Windows and Chartbooks window:

ad 1) all charts in all my chartbooks are detached and it make no sense to pick up one chart of others and make it always active. For me it would be usefull only when the control panel`s buttons were enabled for all charts in one chartbook together. If this is not possible to make, than I have to live with that...

We do not mean it would become always active, but the last active chart window would be activated when the Chartbook is switched to.
