Post From: [Numbers Bars] footprint volume rows vanish or get covered when chart height / price scale

Hi Sierra Chart Engineering,

Posting this here for your evaluation. If a paint-order fix here makes sense, it would benefit anyone using Numbers Bars as a footprint.

Two identical Numbers Bars (footprint) charts, same symbol, same session, same data. Only the chart height / price scale differs. Volume-at-price Delta rows on a bar paint, fail to paint, get covered by a shorter row at the same pixel, or the longest row disappears.

Easiest place to see it in the attached screenshot is the last bar (12:35, volume 2715, delta -25). The silhouette is not the same on the two charts. Other bars shift too.

Repro:
1. Numbers Bars configured as a footprint (bid/ask volume at price on each bar).
2. Leave the data alone.
3. Drag the bottom of the chart window up and down, or drag the price scale to compress/expand ticks.
4. Watch a single bar, especially the last one. Rows appear, vanish, or a shorter row covers a longer one.

This is consistent with sc.RegionValueToYPixelCoordinate being many-to-one once a tick is smaller than a pixel. Several prices share one yy. If rows are drawn in an order that is not longest-first, a later shorter fill at that yy covers the longer one, or a 0-1 px row never shows.

Related writeup (ACSIL Volume Profile, same mapping):
[perf] ACSIL Volume Profile paint: skip thin borders, skip duplicate Y

Screenshot of the two heights is attached. Short recording of resizing the window / price scale is attached as well. Chartbook attached for convenience also.
