The field for Replay Speed & for Horiz. Line drawing text (numbers) sometimes won't take a change (or takes partial), since upgrade to V2276. It works about half the time,but is slower to accept typing characters than old version. It actually seems to fight the change to keep some part. It behaves mostly the same way whether trying to backspace over prior, delete prior to type, or start typing into first position. It is no longer the quick, straightforward "feel" of the older version, where I never, ever had a problem like this. I think it is not only when the computer is loaded/running sim or live. attached pic shows attempt to type in .7 as speed. |

It kind of sounds like the issue is that Sierra Chart might be under a heavy processing load during the replay and you are not able to enter the speed number. Try slowing the replay down to a speed of 1, and see afterwards, once the speed actually slows down, that you can easily change the speed.

I normally don't run SIM above 1 (Often .3 to .7). That was not at 10 or 70 or anything like that. Those numbers are just what resulted from 2 attempts to enter .7 , lowering from 1. This was medium to slow market, and Sim setting 1 or approx .6. I know SC behavior under fast market or speed 5. This is not that. SC literally removes the decimal or some numbers typed, and tries to put in or keep others. Under heavy load, SC would just hang a second. Horizontal line text behaves similarly, not as often (last digit of support/resistance). I do have 47 charts (15 are minimal) and 13 spreadsheets, however. Speed 2 is a load (O/Clocked 4.1 Ghz I5) It might be about 20% of the time (not 1/2). I'll test more to narrow conditions-environment. I can get by as it is, so no hurry. |

Test: Logon. Start SIM of prior afternoon. Paused, Hit Connect (as I often do, with default speed of 1 - untouched). Before even resuming Play, again when trying to enter .7, with no load (only moderate background data feed), it kept trying to put " 70.10 ", and similar. Trying to correct that got various combinations, such as .10, .7010, but not .7 . I then used pull-down to put .10, pause, play, then tried .7 replacement of .10 ; Still no go for 2 or 3 tries, until it finally took. "Change text input" on horizontal line behaves similarly-sometimes won't take change, such as from "5" to "3"; it will put 53 or 35. Neither backspace deletion of prior 5, nor highlight to delete, or type over works right-- It can take 2 or 3 tries of backspace, highlight delete, etc. Very similar behaviors and a different "feel" than old version (like Ajax or Java?); Both Sim speed and horiz. line were previously exactly like any other Windows text change (such as in Notepad), fast, straightforward. (No other changes to this PC than SC version update) |
