No joy unfortunately. I installed the pre-release and the issue still persists.

My only workaround is still disabling "Custom Symbol Settings" before closing Sierra Chart.

I only use Custom Symbol Settings to enforce maximum position and order quantity limits. They're an important safeguard against fat-finger mistakes, especially when the DOM has keyboard focus and I start typing, thinking another window is active (or one of many other scenarios) before using an order-entry hotkey.

I've noticed Support often recommends toggling Custom Symbol Settings when troubleshooting unrelated issues. That makes me wonder if these risk controls would be be better separated from the rest of the Custom Symbol Settings.

I'd like to suggest moving position and quantity limits to a dedicated risk management setting, ideally at the individual Trading DOM level, while still keeping global account-level limits as an additional safeguard. It just seems like such an important safety feature deserves to live independently from any other settings that might be disabled in order to solve an issue or enable another option.

Sorry for the suggestion if there's a reason this isn't practical, this is simply something I think would make an already excellent platform even safer.
