Post From: DETACHING WINDOWS AND ALWAYS ON TOP.

When I clicked on my main window my re-sized to “maximum” chart disappeared.
This does not make sense. Do you know why this would be the case? From our perspective this is hard to understand because we cannot see exactly what you are doing and the behavior.

It might be related to this option:

Make sure that is disabled.

I then followed the instruction to Window>>Chart Window Always Visible in the hope that this would – lock my newly sized chart in place. To my dismay, it immediately ‘downsized’ this chart inside the white space again. This was not what I wanted.
Once again, this makes no sense. No sense whatsoever. Changing that setting is going to have no immediate effect. It only keeps the chart visible, when switching to a different chart book.

I attempted to follow your instruction Window>> Always on Top only to see that it is NOT executable - it is faded out.
You need to use this command on the detached chart itself. Not from the main window.
