Can you tell me why i'm getting this gap fill of bars on the open?

I have the chart settings set to "Gap Fill - None" but for some reason, i'm now getting this gap fill on only this chart.
i have other renko charts that are acting as expected, and not filling the gap.

this chart is tied to a spreadsheet so i really don't want to have to remove it and rebuild it.

Hello, I have the current version of Sierra, chart settings gap fill is set on "none", new bar at session start is enabled. But it keeps to show the gap bar. Why is that?
Thank you

Make sure your Session Times are set to cover the full 24 hours of trading time (or whatever is the appropriate trading time for the instrument on which you are having an issue).

If that does not resolve the issue, then we would need to see an image of your chart by following these instructions:

This is my chart. I do not want that fill gap bar between the days.
My session time i 9.30-16.30 NY time.
In my chart settings the Gap Fill is setting on "none".

How can I remove it?

Make sure the option for "Chart >> Chart Settings >> Session Times >> New Bar at Session Start" is set to "Yes". Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: New Bar at Session Start (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Session Times >> Intraday Chart Session Times menu)

It is. Is set to "Yes". I don't really know how to fix it. All the settings mentioned on this support are ok

We are a bit confused at this point. Are you wanting to have a gap or no gap?

In general, you will not have a gap if you have the full day's worth of trading.

Please see the image above.
I have my session times set on 9.30-16.30 NY time.
When the market open (at 9.30) I do not want those bars drown, I just want to see the gap in order to see very well where the market opened.
I hope I was clear.

My chart settings:
Gap fill: NONE
New bar at session start: YES
Apply intraday session times to intraday chart: NO (on YES nothing change)
Chart data type: INTRADAY CHART

Please try to clirify it to me.
Thank you

The settings you state you have for this chart should not be giving you that fill for the gap between the sessions.
