We are not seeing anything different in the current release.

Are you having trouble bringing up the Drawing Properties window which shows the "Ext" options for either side of the drawing? Or are you not seeing the option for "Extend Drawing" in the right-click options? Or something else?

We really do not understand what you mean by "no only thing I see is extend rectangle". There is no reason for a rectangle drawing to be involved in what you are doing.

Please give us the exact steps you are taking and what you are seeing. An image would be great if you can get one.

what I meant is the dopdown panel associated with the ray, does not show but the option to extend rectangle, no option to extend drawing or line that I used to hve. net result iam not able to extend the ray after it is drawn.

What exactly are you referring to when you reference the "dropdown panel"? Is that the right-click options that show up when you right-click on a drawing, or are you referring to the Drawing Properties window?

If you can get us an image of what you are seeing it would be incredibly helpful.

Attached is an example of the right-click menu we get when we right-click on a Ray drawing. As you can see, the option for Extend Drawing is in the list.

Are you not getting this?

Also, even if you were clicking on a Rectangle drawing, you would not see "Extend Rectangle", you get the same option of "Extend Drawing".

Please let us know what you are seeing instead of what we have shown, at least as far as the first column to the left is concerned.

No iam not getting this. I was getting something like this before I reported the problem. what im getting is the following:
line
Ray
horizontal line
price retracement
erase all non text messages
extend rectangle
draw volume profile.

and when I press rectangle the whole panel disappears.
how can I send you a picture of my panel similar to the one you sent ne?
