Hi, I've noticed recently an issue using the Draw Volume Profile Tool, after I've put a profile on the chart and I try and edit it, it always selects the left hand side of the box (unless it's a large area and the right side can be easily selected), making it nearly impossible to edit accurately and quickly when using the tools on just a few bars. Please can you fix, let me know if you need more info. Thanks

I know of that setting and that is not the issue I'm experiencing. I'll try and explain it slightly differently.

If I put a DVP across 3 bars for example. If I then try and edit the DVP as I want to now include additional bars to the right. Unless I precisly select the right side of the rectangle box that appears when I try to click and drag, it always select the left side which then makes the edit useless as that's not what I wanted to occur.

This previously wasn't an issue as I've been using this tool for a long time, it's something that's occured in a recent update.

If this still isn't clear I'll make a video of it to show you, however I'm away next week so will there will be a delay.

We really doubt there is anything wrong. We cannot reproduce this. When you Left click a second time to initiate the adjustment of the Volume Profile, make sure you are clicking closer to the right side than the left side. And make sure you are clicking more to the right by a safe enough margin.

The problem is very obvious, you need to make an adjustment to this particular Tool Setting:
Chart Drawing Tools: Drawing Selection Margin in Pixels (Global Settings >> Tool Settings >> General >> Tool Options)

Yes figure it out. We take too many questions here. You are in a far better position to determine this than us. That is why the setting exists.
