Hello again,

I'm seeing another very strange bit of behavior on my charts with a couple of studies using transparent draw styles. For instance, I have the Stochastic-Slow study on my execution chart and I use the transparent fill bottom and top style to create a ribbon look. When the chart is not maximized, this works normally. But when I maximize the chart by double clicking on the chart tab, instead of being gray, it turns black. When I click restore to return the chart to a smaller size, it goes back to being gray as intended. A couple of images showing the issue are attached.

Thanks so much for your help,
Matt

We do not know why this is the case. Are you using OpenGL for chart graphics?

Yes, I am using OpenGL on an Nvidia graphics card.

Interestingly, the problem has gone away on its own. I'll send a chartbook if it recurs.

Thanks,
Matt
