[User Discussion] - Order Allocation Multiplier setting doesn't take effect on Apply All

The Order Allocation to Trade Accounts feature has a settings dialog with two options for acceptance - Apply All, and OK. Expected behavior would be that Apply All allows the settings to take effect, without having to dismiss the dialog (very useful if you are experimenting with settings and plan to change them a number of times as you figure out the perfect settings).

But if you change the Allocation Trade Account Multiplier and hit Apply All, the change does not actually take effect. If instead, you hit OK then the changes take immediate effect.

It's a small thing, but this made me think the multiplier feature was simply not working, because I kept changing it and testing, and it did nothing. Finally I gave up and hit OK, and the change took effect.

Oh additionally, any trade accounts added in the Order Allocation settings, will appear if the chartbook is shared to someone else who does not have access to those accounts at all. Anyone you send the chartbook to will see the account numbers for all accounts that were set for order allocation, at the time the chartbook was saved. Seems like a potential privacy/security risk to me.
