when I switch instances with 8 monitors, 7 of the monitors retain the prior instance, but only the main monitor shows the instance I want. Is there a way to keep the instance intact while switching instances?

I have two instances. When I switch to a different instance, the prior instance remains on 7 of the 8 monitors.

OK, then what about it? What is this supposed to mean? This is also incredibly hard for us to really understand unless we can visualize it.

Eg. instance 1 has the commodity NQ on all eight monitors at the moment. I switch then to instance 2 which has CL in it, but I only see CL on the monitor with the main menu and the other 7 monitors still show NQ. If I click on another chartbook within instance 2, then I get all monitors according to the chartbook.

OK we understand. So this is about switching the focus, for all of the detached chart windows when the main window gains the focus. We can add an option for this. We will try to get this done in a few days. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users.

Yes. This is in the current version. It is documented here: General Settings Window: Bring Detached Windows to Top on Main Window Focus (Global Settings >> General Settings >> GUI >> Application GUI) Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support.

can confirm the effect after setting to "bring detached windows to top on main window focus". My windows start blinking and then the menu was gone and the program locked up.

We apologize for this. We had quickly put this in and we did not do any testing. This issue is now resolved. We are putting out a new revision now.
