Drawings synchronized between charts display inappropriately if different timeframes

I have a 1 minute chart whose drawings are automatically synchronized with another, 2 minute chart.

When I change the second chart's timeframe to a 1 minute, drawings stay aligned perfectly between the two.

However, when the chart's a 2 minute, lines suddenly become vertical instead of staying horizontal.

I guess the reason is that not all prices have enough room to be present anymore on the right side scale.

Is there an option to more or less force the drawings to stay in place, even if that means slightly adjusting a line that was initially set at $202.21 on the 1" timeframe: now we're going to make it look like it's at 202.20 on the 2", because such a precise price as 202.21 doesn't show up here? It'd be much better than letting lines go all over the place. Sometimes they just disappear on the 2". It depends on how much room they have to keep existing. The precise tool used is "extended line".

This sounds like your drawing has the two points that define the line drawn on 2 consecutive 1 minute bars. This means that when you copy that drawing to a 2 minute timeframe, the line has its two points defined on a single bar, which is why it will then show as a vertical line.

The solution is to ensure that your line is drawn with a longer spacing between the two anchors.
