BUG REPORT: Trading DOM Price Column Resizes on font increase, but not on decrease

View Count: 658

Problem:
When price column font size is increased, the column width adjusts to fit new font size, but doesn't decrease if font size later decreased.

Software Version:
v2323 64bit

How to reproduce:
When you go into graphics settings global or chart, and change the font size for "Chart Text" (i.e. to size 20), it changes the font size of the prices and expands the column width to fit the price with the bigger font. However, if you then go back in and reset to default, or manually change the size of the font back down to a lower value (i.e. size 9), the width of the price column remains huge, and it cannot be resized.

Only way to reset the width is to close the DOM, and create a new one.

Preferred solution:
Allow price column width to be customizable by the user like all other columns, with the price being right side justified, and the column resize maintaining visibility of the price numbers on the right, but hiding numbers on the left as the width is reduced. i.e. If I reduce width the number would appear as:

| 1000.0005| <- Column width size increased from default
|1000.0005| <- Column width size default
|000.0005|
|00.0005|
|0.0005|
|.0005|
|0005|
|005|
|05|
|5|
|| <- Column width size shrunk to 0

I discovered a temporary fix to it if you go to Chart Settings > Advanced Settings 3 > Limit Price Displayed to N Right Characters.

Change this setting to a number other than 0 then change it back and it should re set the width properly.

This is definitely not a bug. To resize that price column select Chart >> Recalculate.
