Post From: Different Chart Drawing Properties dialogs

Hi, I have two questions about the Chart Drawing Properties dialog:

(i) It seems that there exist two different variations of this dialog. Sometimes, when I right-click a chart drawing and select "Chart Drawing Properties" from the pop-up menu, dialog variation no. 1 opens (first screenshot), sometimes, dialog variation no. 2 opens (second screenshot). I couldn't figure out a pattern behind this behavior yet. It seems to be random. Do I overlook anything? Why are there two completely different dialogs for adjusting chart drawing properties, and how does Sierra Chart decide which of the two dialog variations to show?

(ii) Could you please tell me how to specify the exact position (x/y coordinates) of a text element with dialog variation no. 2? I know how to do this with dialog variation no. 1, but unfortunately today Sierra Charts decides to only open dialog variation no. 2 when I open the Chart Drawing Properties for my text elements.
