Fill Top and Fill Bottom taking CPU to 100%

SC 1336 is slowing to a crawl in certain cases when I set a study to use Fill Top and Fill Bottom (Transparent or Not). It seems to happen whenever the subgraphs cross (but not when they don't). It happens with custom studies or the supplied ones. The freeze can be kicked off by a number of things, such as changing symbols or playing with the bar spacing. Here is a specific way to make it happen after starting SC anew and starting a new chartbook.

1) Add Moving Averages, ignore the middle subgraph, set subgraph 1 to FILL TOP and subgraph 3 to FILL BOTTOM
2) Press OK
3) Decrease Bar Sapcing 3 or so times until it stops
-->) CPU goes to 100% - system basically freezes

Note that if I decrease the bar size all the way before adding the study, then
the freeze occurs when hitting OK and the Study Setting window stays on the screen.

If, in the study, the lines do not happen to cross, such as with the Bollinger Bands, the freeze does not occur.

This has been asked and answered previously. It is not something we will spend any time on.

It is operating system specific. We can see you are using WINE. The use of operating systems other than Windows is at the user's own risk.

Understood. I searched, but did not see. I might have tried setting up and using a Windows machine when I started using SC, but I thought there was a plan to release a native Linux version, so thought I would wait to take such a drastic step. (It is just so much harder to develop on, and remotely control Windows.)

Is there still, or was there ever, a plan to release a Linux version? Do you want help?

I see the recent discussion "Future Planned OS Platforms for SC" (Future planned OS platforms for SC), which I guess answers my main question, that the Linux port is not happening anytime soon. Somehow, a year ago, I thought it was more imminent.

Perhaps it would be possible to add this issue and others that are known, such as the ability to only run one replay under wine to the Known Issues on the page that tells how to run SC under wine.

It might save some headaches and support requests if there were a central place to look.

There will be a lot of work done in 2016 toward allowing Sierra Chart to be ported to another operating system relatively easily.

That is one of our significant tasks . Although actually supporting another operating system will not come in 2016.

The general reason we do not make a list of known issues when running WINE is because we do not know when they are resolved or have any direct experience with them. And it is just something else for us to maintain. Keeping Sierra Chart documented and documenting all of the various instructions and issues with external Data and Trading services already is a massive task.

We are not aware of this:
