First, in your Midnight session times, you have "Use Evening Session" set to "Yes" and it covers the same period as the Regular Trading Hours. You do not want to do this. The bars are probably fine, but some studies would have issues.

Second, you are dealing with non-time-based bars - specifically "number of price changes". And you have the option for "New Bar at Session Start" set to "Yes". Therefore, you are going to see different bars at all times. In one case, the number of price changes starts at midnight and in another case it starts at 08:30 and again at 17:00.

Refer to the following:
Chart Settings: New Bar at Session Start (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Session Times >> Intraday Chart Session Times menu)
