'Open in New Strategy Analyzer' grayed out/disabled

[dave416]

This is a recently installed NT8 version 8.0.18.0 with no addons - Is there any reason why both the 'Open in New Strategy Analyzer' and 'Open in Strategy Analyzer Tab' menu options would be disabled? Please see attached screen shot for reference.

Hi Sergey, I figured out how to make it work, but it still might be a bug to investigate. Here's how I solved it:

- Fresh install of NT 8.0.18.0. Picked the defaults for everything including themes.
- Opened a new strategy analyzer and ran a SMA Crossover optimization.
- At this point, the optimization results are in the top window, and the Summary/context info is in the bottom. The 'Log' does not show by default.
- Right-clicking on an optimization results in the top half still shows grayed out for the 2 'Open in new' menu options.
- Now, right-click in the Optimization settings and selecting 'Show Log' in the menu pops up - this is as per the help doc https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...zer_layout.htm
- In the Log window that appears, right click on a Log result - the 2 menu options are available
- Now back up to the Optimization results - right click on one, and the 2 menu options are now available

I tried it a several times, and the above is the only way I could make the menus appear.

I hope that helps.
