I have a detached chart with a volume profile using Ask Volume - Bid Volume for drawing and Difference of Bid And Ask Volume Coloring for coloring.

This is how it normally looks (pink and blue bars):

This is how it looks when I maximize the window (black bars):

Check the Volume Bar Outline color setting:
Volume By Price Study: Volume Bars Outline and Fill Colors (SG8)

You might also need to adjust the Ticks Per Volume Bar:

I changed the Volume Bar Outline and Fill Color to white/white and the issue remains. I have Draw Outline When Coloring Bid Volume and Ask Volume set to "No" so I don't think this would be the cause.

I tried a number of different tick sizes and the issue is still there.

The issue also occurs when slightly increasing the height of the chart window.

I just updated to 2712 and the issue has gone away.

This is not a version specific issue. That is not possible. There have been no changes related to this. Are you using OpenGL?

Yes, I am using OpenGL.

The issue is appearing again and a different chart is now flickering/flashing.

I have seen the recommendations to disable OpenGL, but I prefer not to do that. Sierra Chart performs noticeably better with OpenGL enabled, and my charts are 10x faster with OpenGL on.

I rebuilt the charts and the issue went away, so it was possibly due to a study configuration.

Also, I usually have the title bar hidden, which can apparently create issues that are Windows-related and beyond the control of Sierra Chart.

I understand OpenGL issues are likely outside the scope of support but I wanted to provide an update for anybody else who has a similar problem.
