You can see that the numbers column is too wide (see attachment).

A screenshot is attached. The link through the Edit menu is not working.

I have consulted your documentation here
(Graphics Settings: Chart Bar Widths)
and here
(Getting Started, Opening Charts and Basic Trading: Additional Steps)(items 8 and 9)
and was unable to fix the issue.

That is just due to the number of bars that are drawn in the chart. You need to reduce the bar spacing in the chart. Refer to the information here:

I have tried that and it does not quite fix the problem. ssFST.png is as far as I can get and the columns are still too fat. If I adjust the bar spacing lower (using anyone of the three methods) the numbers become crushed vertically as in ssSND.png (even with the columns being quite wide). If I then try to zoom out vertically (using interactive scaling), the columns zoom out horizontally again and become fat.

You also need to decrease the vertical price range with Interactive Scale Range:
Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Scale Range (Scale Settings)

And make sure you are not using a X and Y constant relationship scale:
Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: X & Y Constant Relationship Scaling


It sounds like you might be.

Thank you! Having an x and y constant relationship was the issue and it is now fixed.
