This didn't used to happen when I was on 2812, I updated to 2939 yesterday and I noticed that when I switch chartbooks, my chartbooks have 5 naked candlestick charts, nothing crazy. I noticed that if charts in the chartbook have a color scheme diff than the global graphics settings, then theres a pretty noticeable lag as the switch over is reconciling the charts inside the chart book, i see blue outlines as if they were not maximized as they're getting maximized. Is this a known issue or limitation?

it might just be chartbooks with 5-7 charts, regardless of graphics scheme

One thing we found recently with chartbooks taking time to open was due to a change to the "Horizontal Lines at Increment" study. If you are using this study, then please update to the latest Pre-Release and see if this resolves your issue. Follow these instructions to update:

I noticed it actually happens if there is a trade window open on any single chart.
