How do I configure the chart to do two things:

1. keep the current price on the screen

Nothing I have tried has kept the price line on the screen.
I have searched the support board - some settings help, none
work consistently.

2. configure the chart to maintain spacing regardless of chart window size

Enclose is a comparison of a my number-bar chart - at quarter screen and
enlarged to fullscreen. as you can see the number bars narrow and compress
vertically. I'd like the graphics spacing to stay the same regardless of
window width or height.

1. To keep the current price on the screen and not move the scale at all as you scroll, refer to the following instructions:
Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Using Fixed Values for Top and Bottom of Scale Range

2. In general, what you are seeing is going to occur due to the change in the size of the window. But, one item that you can check is that the Font Size Mode for the Numbers Bars is not set to Automatic with Minimum/Maximum Limits. Refer to the following documentation:
Numbers Bars: Font Size Mode

Thank you.

The "Scale Range: User Defined with Auto Set" really exacerbates the spacing variable I am hoping to control.

Perhaps rather than the font size mode being an issue (it appears to be a constant) the space between the number-bar prices is the variable. Adjusting it doesn't seem to fix the spacing, it changes if the chart size is altered. I think my previous enclosure illustrates that variable. This doesn't matter too much on bars or candles but it really influences number-bars.
