Post From: Locking Fill Space

I'd like for the text to stay in place at specific price levels if I move the chart around. With the stationary text, it moves the text as I move the chart around. With the normal text, the text stays in place but it does not stay in the lock fill space area.

We are not understanding this. We assume you have the Stationary Text and Type Text tools backwards in terms of how they move, but we do not understand the issue with regards to the "forward projection" area (the area forward of the Lock Fill Space location). Stationary text that is placed in this area stays exactly where it is placed. Type Text moves with the chart regardless of whether is is in the forward projection area or not. We are not seeing any issues with the behavior of either of these tools.

for the 2nd question, I just wanted a way to show the border of the lock fill space so I know the last bar is within view as sometimes I'm not always seeing the last bar while it moves

The best option for having a way to see where the lock fill space is located would be to use the "Stationary Text" and putting just a letter or something to give you a marker. You could stack a series of characters to create something like a line. This is the only tool that will stay in place when the chart is moved (our suggestion of a Vertical Line previously will not work - we were not thinking fully apparently).
