After update (rel. 1820) the position of my countdown timer changed. The option "in Lock Fill Space..." is missing (as I know).

Yes that was removed because it was not something that could be properly implemented any longer due to the common method by which these types of text drawings are now implemented.

You just need to move the Countdown Timer over to the fill space by left clicking on the text drawing to select it and then left click it and move it over to where you need it.

The new handling is not easy to use (from my point of view).

Therefore I'd like to see the remeining time in the header. After setting the Countdown Timer "hidden" it works (see pic).

But there are two things
- The Countdown Timer isn't hidden
- Is it possible to see the time in the header on the same valie format as the Countdown Timer (i.e. 14:52 and not in seconds 892)

No replay needed. I use the CountDownTimer of the "Chart Header" Settings.

I placed the timer in the fill space, and used last price as vertical position. But, as new bars were added, the timer shifted left and covered the last bar.
Is there any way to keep the timer a few bars in the future? I tried using 'Lock drawing' but it still shifted left.
