Post From: Strange behaviour when feeding SCID using Intraday Storage Time Unit greater than 1 tick

I've simplified the test environment. New standalone install of SC (not a sub instance). Not connected to any data feed. Intraday storage time unit = 1 minute. My external program feeding 1 minute records into VIX.scid. In the chart I still get the additional bar added by SC (I believe) after my program writes a new real time 1 minute record to scid. VIX.scid is correct with sequential data according to "Export Intraday Data to Txt File". But not correct when I export "Bar Data to Txt File" (SC adding the extra 09:18:00 bar?). I've marked up a picture with all details in the attachment. If I change Intraday storage time unit = 1 tick then chart displays real time data in VIX.scid correctly and sequentially - and if I "Export Bar Data to Txt File" similarly all rows are sequential and correct (i.e. no 09:18:00 row after each new real time bar). I know how busy you guys are I'm not expecting an investigation when your time could be spent better elsewhere. I realise it's a pretty esoteric use case of SC, its just frustrating me as I like to store scid data in my sub-instances to 1 minute to save disk space. Which works fine with Denali data but doesn't work when I feed my own data into scid directly. If it triggers any light bulbs great, if not no worries.
