Post From: Number Bars Frozen

but to my mind they are a bit buggy.
There are no bugs with Numbers Bars. This is not even possible. The functioning of it is very solid and stable. If you have a specific issue, just let us know what and we will help with that.

Another problem is that sometimes the number bars jump around on the chart and then again I can have them set at a comfortable level for easy reading and then all of a sudden the scale will expand and the bars will be crushed together, thin and unreadable without me even touching the keyboard and in light volume conditions.
Unless we can see exactly what is happening, this does not make sense. Make sure the Scale Range is set to Automatic. Refer to:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/Scaling.html#ResetScales

And here is the documentation to make scale changes:

Is there a way to change the color of the text inside the Volume Profile bars in the DOM from white to black? The numbers are readable in white as long as they are within the volume bars but white text against the color of the window itself is unreadable.
This is controlled with the color settings for this subgraph for the Volume by Price study:

To access the Subgraph settings, refer to:
http://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/VolumeByPrice.php#ColorAndWidthSettings

When using an Automatic Scale Range, it is going to change to fit the highest high and lowest low of the visible bars. There is no way to lock that. The Lock Scale command only locks manual adjustments.

When you have a problem with chart updating, just let us know and we will call and use remote assistance.
