This is a strange one Sierra Chart Engineering team,

Present in v2840 and first noticed in v2842.
When I open a 2nd chart book, a phantom window opens with content from the first chart book (spanning multiple charts) and now represented as a window in chart book 2. I can resize this phantom window, and the contents of it never update (see attached).
This third window is not listed in the CW menu.

Not sure what other info I can give you on this, but can arrange for a demo or take a video for you if that helps.

EDIT: if I close the 1st chart book the phantom window goes away. So it's acting like a window always on top or always visible, but as you can see, there is no way this single window should be presenting content from 3 different charts from chartbook 1.

We are making a note. This may be a case where, when a window is Hidden, when switching to a different Chartbook, the window hide for a chart is not actually being successful for some unknown reason.
