Problem Selecting a Draw/Text Object

[mjc4118]

Please see screen shot.

Attempting to select the text object results in selecting the "candles" or data object.... making selecting the text object for editing ...impossible... sure I could remove all drawing objects ...and add them back again ...but then I would have to rebuild all my chart comments!

Selecting the data series and indicators is great ...but it actually prevents us from selecting other draw objects..as in this case.

Thanks for reporting.

- The issue is that the hit test code is very sensitive etc..
- Will throw this to development to see if we can make it more tolerant

Hi mjc4118 !

Objects drawn on chart can be selected according to their Z-order:

- Pls. select bar series as you did before
- press <Shift> + Mouse up (this brings bar series 'back'), do this as often as necessary
- text object should be selectable

Does this help ?

Kind regards,
Christian

Ok ..that works. It is not elegant.
Changing the Z order so i can access my draw objects is time waste as much as I comment my charts, but it works.

Any way we can apply something like "send to front/back on draw objects/indicators & data series so that data series and indicators are always "sent to the back"?

Not currently. We will investigate if there are possible better solution to using the z-order workaround but its low on priority. Bug fixes are ahead etc...
