    space bar repeats chart trader order

    I just noticed an unexpected behavior from chart trader that repeats a mouse button press when the space bar is immediately pressed afterwards.
    If I click on a chart trader button like "Buy Mkt" and then immediately afterwards push the spacebar then the "Buy Mkt" command is repeated.
    If I click on the "Buy Mkt" button and then click anywhere in the chart area and then push the spacebar then the command is NOT repeated.
    I do NOT have "use order entry hot keys" enabled.
    I only see this so far in simulation mode and I don't want to experiment with this using my account.

    Can you verify this and if this isn't a built in feature then fix it as I think making the biggest key on the keyboard repeat an order entry will eventually be harmful to someones P/L.
    If it only behaves this way using simulation data and account then I don't see it being harmful.

    Hello,

    Thanks for your post.

    I am seeing the same on my end and want to investigate this further with a colleague to see if this is expected.

    Thank you for your patience and for bringing this item up.

      Hello,

      Thanks for your patience. After some testing, it appears there is no way to selectively ignore or exclude Windows from the ‘repeat a button press’ functionality of a spacebar press. This is a Windows feature; you'll find the same occurs when you attempt a similar test on the Windows Calculator tool.

      Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.
