Suggestion for Improving the Reset Bar Size/Spacing/Scale Function

I would like to suggest a minor improvement for the Reset Bar Size/Spacing/Scale function.

When this function is triggered, it does three things:
1. It moves the chart to the end.
2. It resets the horizontal scale to its default setting.
3. It resets the vertical scale to its default setting.

However, when Zoom is activated, it only performs steps 1 and 2. It does not reset the vertical scale. In this case, you first need to cancel the Zoom for the function to work as the user would expect.

This is quite annoying and confusing, as you would expect this function to always do the same thing.

With Zoom activated, you can easily end up in an empty space on the chart (you can't see anything in the window), which only adds to the confusion.

To demonstrate this, I created a short video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D4Y9pCOS3r0

All the platforms I have worked with over the years have had a similar function. For example, in TradingView, this function is called Reset Chart View. However, each of them automatically canceled the Zoom if it was active when this function was triggered.

I would therefore like to suggest that canceling the Zoom should also be part of this function. Would that be possible? Thank you.

Hello Sierra Chart team.

Have you had time to look into the issue I reported?

The behavior of the Reset Bar Size/Spacing/Scale function when Zoom is activated is really problematic.

I use these two functions all the time, and I'm annoyed by the way they now work (or rather don't work) together.

Could you please let me know what your position is on this? Thank you.
