Align VP outline with bars included in calculation

I just started using the draw volume profile tool to draw leg-to-leg delta profiles. How do I align the 3 side outline with the bars actually being calculated? As you can see in the attached photo, the gray outline goes all the way back to the day's start when it should line up with the white dotted line. I've gone through all the "Volume Graph Period Type" options, but none appear to be aligning.

We are not understanding the image. In particular, there is a box toward the right side that has dashed lines (or dotted) and dots in it. That is a typical box you would see when you have a Drawn Volume Profile selected. We are not sure what the other box you are referring to is.

See updated image with markups.
1.) When "Draw Profile Outline Enclosing Bars" is set to "3 Sides", this is the gray box that gets drawn (highlighted in yellow).
2.) This is the box when selecting the drawn profile.

I would have expected box 1 to match box 2, however the Outline appears to be starting at the beginning of the day (time 0:00) instead of where I have it drawn at (~10:29).

Please see attached.

Note the control button on the right labeled "DeltaVP" is how I am creating the various profiles.

Do you have this problem with all your drawn profiles when they are right-aligned to the far right? Or this one an outlier?

So my setup is: Drawn Delta Profile based on swing leg (furthest left), 30 Min Delta Profile (middle), ETH Volume Profile (furthest right) [all right-aligned profiles].

I just drew 3 different delta profiles at various time locations and the outline goes all the way back to start of day (0:00) for all of them.

We are not able to reproduce this at all.

Please get us the Study Collection file that you use as the basis for your Drawn Volume Profile configuration. We wonder if there is something in this configuration that is causing the issue. The Study Collection files are located in the 'Data' folder under your main Sierra Chart installation and have the file extension of .stdycollct. Follow these instructions to get us the file:

John, any updates on this? I'm guessing it's something specific on my machine causing the issue.
