We do see how this is potentially a problem with Linear Regression Lines because a former programmer who worked on those, made a stupid mistake in the way that they are doing the line extensions and coordinate calculations. We thought that they had corrected this as instructed but we can see they did not. And we are not happy about that.

The calculations need to be done completely and strictly on the bar index and floating-point Y coordinates and then finally converted into the integer window coordinates at the final step. The calculations are being done with the window coordinates. And this is what leads to the problem.

We will resolve this today.

However, still to some extent this kind of issue can occur anyway and is explained here:

You need to make sure there is a greater amount of space between the beginning and ending points of the drawings.

We will look over the pitchfork and parallel lines tools as well.
