Post From: v2862 - Background windows showing when changing chartbooks

When you state that the other charts were set to be "Hidden" what exactly do you mean? Are they actually open, but just covered? Or did you have them minimized?

We think this may be related to having the windows you do not want to see "minimized". In which case, there is a new setting that controls what it means to have a window "minimized". Refer to the following:
General Settings Window: MDI Child Window Minimize Method (List) (Global Settings >> General Settings >> GUI >> Multiple Document Interface (MDI) and Custom Title Bar Settings)

The default for this is "Minimize in Place", which we think is what you are seeing. Try setting this to "Hide Window" which actually completely removes the window as if the option for "Hide Window" were selected.

Let us know if this is not what you want, and/or it does not work for what you are doing.
