Footprint Blank Spaces

Hi
My footprint chart for 6b is randomly not printing some of the horizontal bid/offer figures, instead I just have a blank box. There does not appear to be a pattern to this, sometimes its the high of the bar, the low of the bar, or in the middle of the bar. Some bars have no blanks, some a have 1 blank and others have multiple blanks at different price levels.
I am trading renko bars (ticks). Changing the tick setting doesn't solve the problem.
I have updated to the latest SC release and I have searched for solution but I am now struggling.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best wishes
Chris

This could be normal.

Make sure you have disabled Volume filtering:
Chart Settings: Volume Filter (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Data Limiting >> Volume Filter Settings menu)

Thank you.
I have the volume filter setting set to
Exclude >= 0
Exclude <= 0
Filter Trade Completely No
Do you have any other suggestions, this has only recently become an issue for me and it makes my analysis difficult as I like to use ratios and turning points, obviously when I have no numbers I cant calculate the ratios.
Thanks for all of your help.

This is going to be a particular issue since you are using Renko bars. But even with tiem basded bars we do see this still occurring with this instrument.
