Post From: Chart window behavior and related attached trade window issues

Actually we now do finally understand this:
4) BUT If I bring chart 4 forward in front of chart 7 and I activate another chart window, eg. click on chart window #2, and then I flip chartbooks and then return the layout is changed (unexpected). Chart 7 is now front of chart 4 in this situation. This appears to be an issue with the order of the chart tabs and the tab to the furthest right is prioritized in this situation.

It is not easily resolved. And there really were no changes that were deliberately done or inadvertently done that caused it. It is just that since Sierra Chart is handling the MDI functionality directly rather than the operating system, there is a change in behavior and why we do not know. Technically there should not be any change. Resolving this is not very simple.

However, you can resolve this, simply by changing the order of the charts within Window >> Windows and Chartbooks. Or dragging and dropping, the Chart window tabs.
