Global Drawing Tools aren't deleted until indicator's chart is focused

[Matheusfx]

I've found a bug in the removal of Global Drawing Tools.
If you use RemoveDrawObject(globalDrawingToolId) to remove a Global Drawing Tool, without including an @ before the id, it won't be deleted until the chart of the indicator that created it is focused.

I've attached a sample indicator that displays this behavior. For every new candle after it reaches State.Transition, it removes the last line, and draws a new global line with a random id, connecting the highs of the 10th last candle with the last candle.

To reproduce the bug, insert the indicator into a chart, switch to another tab of the same Instrument, and wait for a candle to close. The old line won't be removed until you open the tab that the indicator is inserted.

Removing the Draw Object using an @ sign before the id fixes this, but this seems like unexpected behavior nonetheless.

Hello Matheusfx,

Thanks for your post.

I've tested the indicator and I don't see the issue.

Here is a short video of what I see here: https://Paul-ninjaTrader.tinytake.co...OF8xNTUxMjQxNQ

What version of Ninjatrader8 are you testing this on? (Look under help>About).

Sorry, I've sent the file with the workaround included by mistake. I've edited the file in the main post with the problematic code!

For reference, I'm using the latest version (8.0.23.1 64-bit)

Hello Matheusfx,

Thanks for your reply.

Regrettably, the file link now returns: "Invalid File Specified"

Also, please confirm that you are using and have tested with Ninjatrader 8.0.23.1

I've reuploaded the file, the download should be working now. Also, I've rechecked my NT8 version and I am indeed in the latest version.
