Volume/Open Int. Multiplier Effects on Volume By Price Study

Greetings, I am observing unexpected behavior when loading a simple candlestick chart for any US equity (QQQ used in this example, but it is reproducible on any US equity I have tried). I have my global symbol settings for equities setting the Volume/Open Int. Multiplier to `0.001`. When I load a daily chart with a Volume By Price study for timespan of Visible Bars, the Volume By Price study looks to be rendering incorrectly. If I navigate to Chart Settings -> Advanced Settings 2 -> Volume/Open Int. Multiplier and change it back to `1` and hit Apply, the VbP study renders correctly. Switching it back to my desired setting of `0.001` will render it incorrectly again. Here is a short gif demonstrating how to reproduce this behavior. Is this expected behavior? Thank you in advance.

We are not able to reproduce this on any equity, even with QQQ. Please get us a copy of that chart in its own chartbook so we can take a look at what might be causing what you are seeing.

Here is what we see when we open your chart: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1638213948950.png And changing the Open Int./Volume Multiplier does not change anything. Here is the image with it changed to a value of 1: http://www.sierrachart.com/image.php?Image=1638214020852.png So we are not sure why you are seeing what you are. Please try starting a new chart and enter a new Volume by Price study on it and let us know what happens.

Interesting, so that would imply that it is something in my Global Settings that might be causing this? - File > New Historical Chart > QQQ daily - Studies > Add > Volume By Price - Modified VbP to Right Align and Align to far right and it shows me the same issue, but with bars instead of candles since I didn't touch the other chart settings.
