Both the attached images were captured approx 4:50am 11 July USA ET and are of the same place on the Euro (6E).

The file with v1570 in file name is correct with 3 instances of the Color Bar Based on Alert correctly fully painting the price bars Red, Green or Neutral.

However installing v1571 or later results in large instances of the underlying price bar colouring showing through and the Color Bar Based on Alert study painting the bars at best intermittently. (see file attached with v1571 in the file name).

I have tried this on W7 and W10 and with different chart books.

I cannot tell from the change log what happened from V1570 to v1571. I have been running this study in this format for over a year now on numerous earlier versions of SC.

This is just a case where the Scale Settings are not correct. Make sure the Color Bar Based on Alert Condition study is set to a Scale Range of Automatic.

No that is not the problem/solution.

Setting is already Automatic.

I have changed absolutely nothing in any settings when moving from V1570 to v1571.

It seems something in the SC software has changed in v1571 and above that is impacting the painting of the bars in this study.

Make sure the scale of the main price graph is also set to Automatic.

Refer to:
Chart Scale and Scale Adjusting: Opening the Scale Settings Window for the Main Price Graph

This would be very unlikely and we are not aware of anything that changed which would have affected this.

No that setting was Automatic as well.

I think it is something that has changed in v1571 to affect the Study in combination with Flex Renko bars .... because I just changed the bar type/period to 5 Minutes and it paints perfectly.

OK we understand the reason why there is a problem now.

This will be resolved in the next release coming out today or tomorrow.
