It looks like what you are seeing is the normal process of Sierra Chart adjusting the chart when the Scaling is set to Automatic. In this scale mode, it is doing it's best to automatically fit the bars that are present onto the screen. As such, they can expand and contract vertically as bars fall off the visible area of the screen. One solution is to use a Constant Range scaling instead. Refer to the following:
Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Constant Range (Scale Range)

It does not look like they are changing horizontally, which they should not. But it is very hard to tell from the images if this is definitely the case. If you are having a problem with horizontal shifting, let us know, as this should not occur.
