Chart going to random Date-Time

My charts are automatically going to some random time in the past. In the linked image, the 15s chart has gone to 22-12-14. I can of course use Goto Date-Time to move it to the current time and date. However, if I switch to some other charts using the tabs at the bottom right and come back to the 15s chart, it goes back to some other random time in the past.

Let me also note that I do not have the bottom scroll bar shown here:

Is there a simple way to move to the most recent bar? Your help in dealing with this problem is most appreciated.

Thanks!

I have enabled the scroll bar using Alt-S. Unfortunately, the issue remains, although it is now easier to move to the current bar.

Further, every time I switch between charts using the tab menu at the bottom right, SC flashes what may be a downsized window, very briefly, before showing the chart as in the linked image above. Is there a way to get rid of the flash? Similar to the issue here:

I have enabled the title bar as well as set autohide title bar and scroll bar to NO.

With regards to the chart changing to a different time - make sure you do not have the option for Global Cursor enabled. Refer to the following:
Chart Drawing Tools: Global Cursor (Tools >> Global Cursor On)

Also make sure the chart is not linked to another for the Scroll Position. Refer to the following:

In terms of going to the end of the chart quickly, the 'End' key is setup by default to do this. You can also select Chart >> Goto End of Chart

There is nothing we can do about the flash. That is an operating system issue.

You should be able to eliminate this by setting this in the Windows Control Panel: System >> Advanced System Settings >> Performance >> Visual Effects >> Adjust for Best Performance.
