8.0.4.0 *Unusual OnRender behavior*

[jackyd]

While testing a custom indicator I noticed some very unusual behavior with OnRender method where it's being constantly called for no reason. Attached is a copy of the @SampleCustomRender indicator to illustrate what I'm seeing. This indicator is basically and exact copy but with the addition of a single display message when OnRender is called.

To recreate, open a new chart and an output window, then add this indicator "TestRender". What you should see is the message constantly writing to the log over and over even with no connection, scrolling, or changes to the chart.

Hello jackyd,

I'm finding the behavior is caused by the setting of the ZOrder to a value less than 0.
I'm inquiring with development whether this is expected.

I appreciate your patience.

Thanks Chelsea, good catch. I commented out the ZOrder and it seems to be ok now. Appreciate it.
