I cant tell if anyone is reading these. IB contacted me about this issue and said it was corrected in a beta, download it and problem fixed. I did that and the problem is not fixed. Still useless for intraday stock charts.

Here is what IB sent me about the FIX that did not work. I resubmitted the ticket .

Thank you for contacting Interactive Brokers.

There was a backend change of dataType of how data is delivered via TWS to TWS API. Moved from double to decimal.
With that, we have introduced a new setting in TWS Latest and BETA (please upgrade to either).
Setting in question: TWS -> Global Configuration -> API -> Settings -> check the box "Send Forex market data in compatibility mode in integer units" > restart the TWS & 3rd party platform for changes to take effect
