Trindlines Glitch?

I am using Sierra for some time now and believe that it is one of the best platforms in the market.
But it can be the Best platform if it fixes that tiny but important glitch I am about to describe.
It is about Trendlines.
Whenever I anchor two points and project to the future, the Trendline shifts slightly when the chart change scale due to an aggressive bull/bear trend. Or because Sierra doesn't use top and bottoms buffer margins (which has been asked many times by traders) and a Trader puts them in by adjusting the interactive scale range, the same happens.

I am attaching 2 pictures describing better what I am saying. You can replicate it with Fridays Trading Session of mini dow.

To some that tiny close above the aggressive trendline is a tiny detail, for others including myself is an opportunity for a fade trade.

Other times the same thing happens even if I haven't tampered the Interactive scale but the chart change its scale automatically due to the far left swings.

Points 1 and 2 are the anchor points
First Image Interactive scale hasn't been changed
Second image Interactive scale has been tampered a bit to accommodate for price not to be stacked at the top of the screen because I wanted to place that fade order.

I don't know anything about programming and if this is an easy task, but would be greatly appreciated.

This is answered in detail here:

You need to extend the second point, and use a 4K monitor.

Also the behavior you see, is generally system specific and dependent upon the span between the two points.

Not everyone would see this.

Or because Sierra doesn't use top and bottoms buffer margins (which has been asked many times by traders)
We have not had any requests for this. And you can do it with Interactive Scale Range.
