Running on Windows 11. I have several chartbooks that have around 8 charts in them. Two of these charts are RTH VWAP, and Full Session VWAP. I keep these two charts minimized. I then overlay these studies onto my main charts. Whenever I switch charts now, these two VWAP charts flash briefly on the screen as the new chart I am switching to is painted. I managed to catch a static shot of what briefly appears. Note how the window controls look very strange (minimize, etc) on these two windows. My experience in the past has been that these two show up at the bottom of the screen and show only the title bar when minimized. They never flashed on the screen or showed any other weird behavior. Screen shot attached. |

We have passed this along to Engineering to see if they can do anything about it. But, part of the reason for what you are seeing is the new options for how a "Minimized" window acts. Take a look at the options for the setting "Global Settings >> General Settings >> GUI >> Multiple Document Interface (MDI) and Custom Title Bar Settings >> MDI Child Window Minimize Method". In particular, you may want to use the "Hide Window" option. For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |

Regarding the first post, choose the option to either Minimize to Bottom or hide the window : General Settings Window: MDI Child Window Minimize Method (List) (Global Settings >> General Settings >> GUI >> Multiple Document Interface (MDI) and Custom Title Bar Settings) And in Windows and Chartbooks move those windows to the top of the list: Window, CB and CW Menus: Windows and Chartbooks (Window) Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

I have it set to Minimize to Bottom. The spurious windows still flash. Sometimes they stay on the screen until I bring the chart behind them to the foreground with a click.

Update to the latest release which is 2855. As long as another MDI chart window, has the focus, that chart window will always be on top of minimized windows. When you switch away from that Chartbook and back to that Chartbook, the previous chart that had the focus will be restored with the focus.
