Post From: Odd behaviour with IB 5 second data

I noticed odd behaviour yesterday after I'd been doing some serious downloads. At the time I was using 1174 and TWS 944. The data seemed to collect on the chart properly but when I pressed insert the data changed and became very sparse with a lot of gaps. HSI data. When I did a backfill it "came right." I upgraded to 1182 and 946 but no change. Then I realized that I was collecting 5 second data with the Intraday Data Storage Time set to 30 seconds. It seems that some (all by 1?) of the 5 second bars weren't being stored in the file so when I pressed insert it went from "what had been showing" to "what was in the file" I've gone back to a 5 second storage unit and the problem has disappeared for me but I think it shows an issue for anyone using true data and trying to keep their files small.
