NT8B3 - Playback controller- MS busy spinner, and WORKFLOW

[sledge]

It worked the first time through, but as I restart and tried again - enabling about 7 strategies (all the same with different contracts) would cause the Playback controller to become unresponsive and force me to restart.

I did find that enabling each strategy 1 by 1 helped me get around it.

-------------------
Also - some of the workflow isn't the same as NT7 which makes NT7 quicker to use.

When enabling strategies 1 by 1, in NT7 you could hit the space bar or return to confirm the "OK". In NT8, the window doesn't get focus and you have to hit OK with the mouse.

Same with adding contracts, add a contract and hitting ENTER(NT7) adds the strategy to the tab. In NT8, nothing happens, you have to confirm with the mouse.

Interesting, on my desktop install of NT8, the space/return key work when enabling a new strategy. This wasn't working on my laptop.

Hello sledge,

Thank you for reporting this matter.

We will look into this further and follow up with any details we find.

Hello sledge,

The key to close any pop up windows should be the enter key. (The space works as long as the button is highlighted. If you click the window the button is no longer highlighted and the space will not work, but the enter key still will.)

I am unable to reproduce the issue using the latest beta available from the help guide.

I'd like to first verify that this still works with NinjaTrader 7, and then fully uninstall and re-install NT8 using the latest beta download from the help guide and test for the issue again.
