Global Setting > Charts > Show Chart Number First on Chart Name = Yes
Trade Simulation Mode = ON (I'm doing chart replay)
Chart > Chart Settings > Title Bar Name = Strategy Test
Use Title Bar Name as Tab label = Yes.
Global Settings > Customize Chart Header, I set the first position to have, Symbol-Bar Period-Chart #.

For some reason, the chart number is no where to be found or seen.
I think the speed of the Replay is hiding the Chart Number.

We do not see a problem with this. It looks fine to us:

Yes I was using OpenGL
Additionally, is the only way to get the chart number to show up in the Chart Tab, to set up a custom Title Bar Name under Chart Settings > Display? I can't find a way to have the Chart Tab automatically show the chart number.

There is nothing special that has to be done. You just need to set this Chart Setting to No:
Use Title Bar Name as Tab Label: No

I just want to clear this up a bit more. I wanted to have my custom Title Bar Name AND the chart's number showing in the tab. I think what you are saying is that it's one or the other. Have a custom Title Bar Name OR Show the chart number in the tab. You can't have both? is that correct?

This is correct for the tab. There is not a way to use the "Title Bar Name" and display the Chart Number in the tab.

But, you should see the Chart Number in the Title Bar and in the Chart Header. If you are not seeing it in those locations, then please get us an image of what you are seeing.
