Hello Support, I have certain problem with maintaining horizontal scroll position [time] when switching between charts (same chartbook). Long story short, time / horizontal scroll bar position is not maintained [seems to change randomly], when / if I switch between charts NOTE1: it ONLy happens on my "main" PC (laptop with two external monitors) My "backup" laptop seems to be OK NOTE2: if I copy a whole SierraChart folder from Backup to Main laptop [with modifying certain settings as described in your docs], it works as it should - for a while, but scroll bar starts "jumping" again [when switching between tabs] after a while. NOTE3: happens on both 32 and 64-bit versions Similar problem described here: Scroll Bar Positioning issue on current versions "I have many charts and therefore do not always notice if a chart is Inadvertently Scrolled back a little and is no longer showing the Current Time position. To avoid the problem I push the Ctrl+End buttons sometimes, which makes sure that all my charts are Scrolled to the End Position, but this is tedious and unreliable." I've attached the Chartbook with ScreenShots PS I'm not quite sure what's causing it - SierraChart was working perfectly until aboout a week or two [??] ago when it's started doing that. NOTE 4: it seems I've found what's causing it. DOC link: Working With Charts: Chart Linking Looks [to me] like statement "Link Number: For each chart that you want to link together within the same Chartbook, set this to the same nonzero number for all of those charts and Sierra Chart will use this number to link them together" is missing important thing. LINK NUMBER is NOT ChartBook - significant, but globally [?] - significant. When I've opened another ChartBook (6E, for example) with multiple charts having the SAME Link number (#1) - the Scroll Bar / time started misbehaving on the "original" ChartBook. So, looks like the statement "Chart Linking Only Works for Charts Within the Same Chartbook" is incorrect [IMHO]. Could you double-check? Please ?
