makincash Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 If I spawn a new intraday window via control-I after clicking on the Dashboard. A new window is spawned and is showing on top of other windows. But as soon as I try to click on it, the window behind is brought forward and the newly spawned window is hidden behind the other window. I have seem this occur many times now.

Jerry Medved Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 I tried recreating that but was not able to do so. any other action required prior to that in order to get it to happen? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makincash Posted January 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 Spawn a new intraday window on your primary monitor, move it on top of another chart window and close it to save the location. Try first click on another monitor then click back on main dashboard then control-I to spawn a new intraday window, then try to click the intraday window that popped up.

Jerry Medved Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 no, worked fine. if the focus is on an MT window, then when you click on another MT window, MT does not mess with the focus/z-order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makincash Posted January 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 I can repeat without issues many times. I did it 5 when I was testing that method.. hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makincash Posted January 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 ah this might be related. this is how my settings are set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry Medved Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 ok I am able to recreate BUT only if I click on the window before it is fully loaded/backfilled. if I wait, it stays OK, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makincash Posted January 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 When I spawn the window with control-I (from the dashboard so I get and empty one) it opens as an empty window. I wait till it's fully loaded then try to click on it so I can type in a symbol and it hides behind instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makincash Posted January 4, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 Ah even with it empty it looks like it is taking time as it try's to backfill as **NA. I didn't even realize it wasn't fully loaded but that might be what is going on. If I click the window when it's black (first pic) then it hides but if i wait till it full loads second picture (which seems to take a long time) it doesn't hide it behind the other window.

Jerry Medved Posted January 4, 2021 Report Share Posted January 4, 2021 it isn't the backfill. if you click on the window before it is loaded, the click basically goes through to the window below it. give it an extra 1/2 sec Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makincash Posted January 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 5, 2021 Ya I need to give it like 5 sec.. the window details inside just start to populate around 3 sec. I hadn't really noticed I was clicking on it before it completed as I thought it was done when it drew the box like the pics above. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
