I would like to use/set the "line tool" to begin beyond the last price bar.
E.g. I'd like to draw a vertical line 15 minutes beyond the last price bar.
Under the old system I could do that.

You need to use the Forward Projection Area and this is thoroughly documented here:

Nothing has changed which would prevent this. Maybe you have locked the Right side Fill Space?

No, I have not locked the "Right side Fill Space"
I can start drawing a vertical line 10 minutes beyond the last price bar using the "Tools Value window", it will show me the starting point.
But, I cannot start to draw a vertical "Line Tool" 10 minutes beyond the last price bar using "Show Compact Tool Values Window".
To clarify: The "Show Compact Tool Values Window" will not show me the starting point until I engage the "Line Tool" feature.
That staring point then becomes a guessing game. Frustrating !

Can the "Show Compact Tool Values Window" be set to start [actually showing me the starting point] drawing a vertical line beyond the last price bar using the "Line Tool"

Currently I'm flipping back and forth between the "Show Compact Tool Values Window" and the "Tools Value window".

After the update select Global Settings >> Tool Settings >> Chart Values.


Near the bottom there is a list box that has Always On When Using Other Tools. Make sure that is selected.

I give up. I, apparently, am not communicating my problem. OR the problem cannot be fixed.
It's too bad that the programmers found it necessary to change something that worked fine.

Attached is a screenshot showing how the Chart Values settings needs to be configured as you require.

To get that particular tab select Global Settings >> Tool Settings >> Chart Values.
