Dear Support

For sometime now I have noticed that when I minimize a chart it no longer drops to the bottom of the main Sierra Chart window as in earlier versions.

Obviously this situation is not ideal when you overlay a chart on top of another. The current outcome, unlike in earlier versions of Sierra is that now I now have a reduced but not minimized chart in the same location position over the chart that was behind it.

Is there a work around, or maybe I have an issue with Windows 11 or my hardware?

Many thanks.

In general settings, set MDI Child Window Minimize Method to Minimize to Bottom.

Here is the link to that setting:
General Settings Window: MDI Child Window Minimize Method (List) (Global Settings >> General Settings >> GUI >> Multiple Document Interface (MDI) and Custom Title Bar Settings)

There are also a number of other settings in that section that relate to the changes we made for the windows that are displayed within the main Sierra Chart window. So look through them all and set things up as you want.
