sc.OpenChartOrGetChartReference - unexpected weekly and quarterly charts spawned

I have a custom study with the following code, which has been worked as expected since Sierra 110x.


int& ChartNumber = sc.PersistVars->i1;
s_ACSOpenChartParameters OpenChartParameters;
OpenChartParameters.PriorChartNumber = ChartNumber;
OpenChartParameters.ChartDataType = DAILY_DATA;
OpenChartParameters.Symbol = p_Symbol;
OpenChartParameters.DaysToLoad = 4380;

ChartNumber = sc.OpenChartOrGetChartReference(OpenChartParameters);

Sierra Chart is 1158. I have made no changes to my chartbook, however on loading the following additional charts are spawned:
RJU14 Quarterly (x2)
GCQ14 Quarterly
NGQ14 Monthly
ESU14 Monthly
CLQ14 Monthly

Closing these charts does not result in them being automatically re-opened, as would usually be the case if they were being called by sc.OpenChartOrGetChartReference.

There are already daily charts with 4380 days to load in this chartbook for the above symbols, so why are new weekly and quarterly charts being created, and why the duplicate entries? This is truly odd.

What is even stranger, is that after closing the above mentioned charts, about a minute later the following are spawned instead:
RJU14 Weekly
NQU14 Weekly
RJU14 Weekly
YMU14 Weekly
GCQ14 Weekly
NGQ14 Weekly
CLQ14 Weekly
ESU14 Weekly

We know why this happens. Recompile your source code on the version of Sierra Chart you are using. This will solve this.

However, we will see how to prevent this.
