Post From: TradeDOM working orders column

We do not see this problem. The quantity number is definitely clickable:

This chart configuration we are showing is for testing purposes for the Chart DOM changes we are working on.


This is the setting we are using:
Chart Trade Settings >> Working Orders >> Working Order Drawing Pointer Behavior >> Chart DOM : "Left Click for Cancel, Right Click for Modify (Hide X Cancel Button)"

Chart Trade Settings >> Working Orders >> Allow Order Quantity on Order Line To Be Changeable : Yes

No problems at all. All of this was carefully implemented.

Reading through what you wrote now we understand but we did not test this scenario:

As long as the user has a field like "Order Type" displayed so that this text is clickable (for example, having "Lmt 1" displayed makes the "Lmt" portion clickable, but not the "1"), then it will work (having "Quantity" alone as the only displayed field means that the user cannot click the quantity to modify/cancel).

We have to let this go for now. We have already put a lot of work into this. And it was quite complex to get this implemented as it is (but still efficient). What you are looking for is not, how everything was originally designed. We did our best to make it work with the current architecture.

This definitely will not happen:
Ideally the entire area for that row in the working orders column would be clickable, in the same way that the entire area of the bid or ask order column is clickable when placing an order at that price (see 2nd image in post #26 for example).
The reason is the click action, is connected to the drawing area of the order line itself but not the price level. What you are asking for is a major fundamental change which we are not going to do.

And once again what we did was already very complex. You just have to add in different display components of the order line to make it wider. Perhaps we could add another field called "blank space" (the best we can think of right now) with a configurable blank space to make a click area.
