B5: Rectangles not rectangles?

[Jellybean]

Hi

I'm trying to modify manually drawn rectangles from within a strategy and found unexpected behaviour when I scan DrawObjects looking for rectangles. Perhaps I am missing something, but it seems strange to me.

This condition does not always return true for rectangles.

drawObj is DrawingTools.Rectangle

It changes when the strategy is compiled. You can use the attached simple strategy to demonstrate the problem by following these steps.

Compile the strategy.
Attach it to a chart.
Draw a rectangle.
Enable the strategy for a few ticks.
The output should show the condition true. (Correct)
Compile the strategy again (without change).
Enable the strategy again for a few ticks.
Now the output shows the condition false, i.e. the rectangle is not a rectangle.
Add another rectangle.
Enable the strategy for a few ticks.
Now the rectangle(s) drawn before the last compile show false, but rectangles drawn since show true.

Cheers
Tony

Hello Jellybean,

Thank you for your post and for attaching the file.

I see the same behavior on my end. I will report this to our development team to look into further.
