Data Box

[chartish]

Ninjatrader 8 version 8.0.16.2 64-bit
I enable the Data Box for viewing and set it to Always on Top. I exit Ninjatrader 8, save the workspace, reopen Ninjatrader and the Data Box is not Always on Top.

Hello chartish,
Thanks for your post.

I see the same behavior. I am going to pass this on to QA.

Thanks for reporting!

I noticed another thing about the 'middle-mouse-click" databox. When you middle click on the in-progress bar, the values are all frozen unless you wiggle the mouse up and down.

chartish, I have been playing around with this a little more and when I do the following I am able to get the workspace to save properly.

• Save the workspace with the Data Box "Always on top" unchecked
• Close the platform
• Open the platform
• Save the workspace with the Data Box "Always on top" checked
• Close the platform
• Open the platform

...the workspace saves properly. I have been able to reproduce one time on a fresh install, but after it saves properly I cannot reproduce. Does this describe the same thing you see?


kevinenergy, I believe that may be worthy of a separate thread.

Yep that worked. Strange behavior.

Well, that suggestion worked for a while, now it doesn't work. I think this is bug.

chartish,

Do you see the same behavior on version 8.0.16.3 ?

[chartish]

Yes Yes Yes
