hello team

having some issues here with value scale values being truncated
have been toggling trading chart dom as temporary workaround
but not happy with that solution

two examples in the attached screenshot

first example has volume scale value format set to 1
50000000 is shown as 500000 with last two zeros truncated, so 50m looks like 500k

second example has volume scale value format set to Large Integer with Suffix
suffix is not shown and last character before suffix is truncated
also there is an issue here with price value scale values starting with 10 and up having last character truncated

also tried to fix with other volume scale value formats such as .00000001 but no change
also tried to fix by changing symbol settings price display format from .01 to .001 but that change has other implications

hopefully you can suggest a fix for this
let me know what you think
thanks

This is still pending review and is a long overdue item we have not yet gotten to. We will try to get to it as soon as possible.

Okay we have reviewed this and this should never happen:
also there is an issue here with price value scale values starting with 10 and up having last character truncated

We want to get a chart from you where this happens by following these instructions:

For the other scales we will get to a solution as soon as possible.

regarding the other piece - the volume value scales being truncated - what about a new optional user managed variable under chart settings to control value scale width/padding - that way the user can tweak this based on their needs

Regarding post #5 we are looking at this Chartbook. And regarding post #6, there will be a new setting but just enabling whether a study should participate in the scale width calculation.

This will be all resolved in version 1865.

hi,

taking a look at 1865

the volume value scale values look less truncated now but there is still some truncating there on my end

for example, with volume value scales of 1.20M and 800.0K the K is truncated

also, in some instances where the suffix on the values shown is K only, the K is truncated

We looked into this and we will have to look at this later on because it is not really simple to resolve this. We understand why it happens though.
