This is because this is a logarithmic scale. Lines are now drawn properly on a logarithmic scale. More details can be found here:

Please allow a setting for the user to specify straight or curved. I require straight for my work.

Hi. Did this get fixed in the end? I've set my chart to log and on higher time-frames like daily/weekly etc the rays are all bendy and the anchor points don't match where the line is drawn.

This affects ray, line, extended line, zigzags, pitchfork(s)

Also in log scale it's very difficult when chart is zoomed out to select the line and therefore be able to move it or duplicate it or even delete it.

To replicate this you can open a daily chart in log scale and use the drawing tools mentioned

I've read I've read Problem with Ray and Parallel Ray on Log Scale | Post: 156745 and strangely this bending issue DOESN'T affect parallel rays so I'm hoping you can rectify this for the other tools

Thanks

There is a global setting to change how the lines are drawn on a logarithmic scale. Refer to the following:

Oh wow that's amazing. I wish i'd asked sooner. Is there a way to make the anchor points match up btw?

We do not understand what you mean about making the Anchor points match up. Can you explain further, or include a screenshot?
