We only need to see the last 20 lines or so from the Message Log not the entire logs. If you could edit your posts to show only those control bar lines that would be appreciated (We are doing the last one now). And we have enough information right now.

However, we would like to do a remote assistance session with you to do our own observations.

We think this users problem is now resolved. We did a remote assistance session. We found that the chart update intervals were very low , sub 50 ms for many charts causing a heavy load on the primary thread and apparently the Windows message queue is just simply overflowing and there are dropped messages and the user interface becomes nonresponsive. And apparently this also causes a problem with coordinates that the operating system passes to Sierra Chart event messages. They are simply wrong at times.

The user will report back tomorrow and let us know if the change resolved the issue.

Is the problem at least less ?

If not, really only thing we can say is this is clearly an operating system level issue. We only have your report and you also said you know of some other users who have the same problem but we wonder if what they are experiencing is different. We do not have any other reports of this and in any case it is quite clear this is an operating system level issue.

There are two problems here. The coordinates are completely wrong when you have the problem and there is no Button Up event. There is just something wrong on your system that is causing this. We really do not know why you have this issue.

If you could try another computer system that would be the best advice we have right now.

The only issue I see with that. I have no problem with anything else but in SC. No other platform or surfing the web. I can show you messages from another user that tells me the same thing.

The operating system is providing wrong coordinate data. That is quite clear. What Sierra Chart is logging is values straight from the operating system.

And furthermore you are also having a problem even accessing the menu. And this is happening without any unusual load within Sierra Chart? When you have the problem check your Windows task manager and tell us the CPU usage of Sierra Chart. If you just simply have one chart open, without any studies, this is not going to cause hardly any load. The CPU usage of the Sierra Chart process should be at 0%.

We have no other direct reports of a problem like this. Other users can show us the same messages but our response will be the same. Do you know what kind of video adapter the other user you are referring to is running?

Not that it matters, we have no idea if it is related or not.

We really do not know what we can do from our side. This is so clearly an operating system level issue.

In the end it is clear this is something that is simply out of our control. Windows 10 is not a good operating system. It is very sad.

With just one chart 3% is too much. We have about 8 charts open and we notice 0 to 1% with a 8 core system. Are you using the OpenGL option?:
Graphics Settings: Use OpenGL for Chart Graphics (Global Settings >> Graphics Settings >> Other)

Disable that option.

We thought of a workaround which has a good chance of solving the problem with the Control Bar. We will release it tonight and then you can let us know if it resolves the problem with the Control Bar.

We have released prerelease 2046. We want you to update with Help >> Download Prerelease. We think there is a better than 50% chance the problem is now resolved with the Control Bar, chart and Chartbook tabs. We have implemented a workaround which we think has a good chance of resolving the problem. Let us know.

This will not solve the problem with the menus not reacting to when you click on them or with other buttons like on the Trade Window.

You can access the menus by pressing the Alt key and then the letter that is underlined on the menu list you want to open and then when the menu displays, press the letter that is underlined for the command that you want.

Make sure you continue to have Global Settings >> General Settings >> General 4 >> Control Bar Debug Logging enabled. This is necessary for the workaround we have implemented to actually get used.

Ok we have been able to reproduce the problem. We will be working on the issue and see what is causing it and coming up with a solution. Disable Global Settings >> General Settings >> General 4 >> Control Bar Debug Logging.
