Forgive me if this is already addressed - I searched but couldn't find anything similar.
I'm experiencing unexpected behaviour from the Drawing Tools | Drawing Objects window when I have a default template. I see user-drawn rectangles morphing into other rectangles. Here are steps I use to illustrate the issue.
Run NT8 with one clean candlestick chart.
Draw a rectangle. Set its properties and save a template Default.
Draw another two rectangles.
Right click on the chart and select Drawing Tools | Drawing Objects. You should see something like Rectangle 1, Rectangle 2 and Rectangle 3 listed.
Press "OK".
One rectangle disappears. Actually, it jumps into one of the others.
Right click on the chart and select Drawing Tools | Drawing Objects. Now you see Rectangle 1 and two of Rectangle 3. The two "Rectangle 3" have the same data, including the tag, which I thought had to be unique.
Press "OK".
Draw another rectangle
Right click on the chart and select Drawing Tools | Drawing Objects. Now you see another rectangle has jumped into the last-drawn.
You can repeat this process and see every time "OK" is pressed in the Drawing Objects window, another rectangle jumps into the last-drawn rectangle.
It seems the rectangle(s) drawn before the default template was created are unaffected.
If I try to "Remove" rectangles from the Drawing Objects window, it works only if there is only one rectangle. If there are more, the rectangle being removed morphs into the last-drawn one.
Leaving the Drawing Objects window by clicking "Cancel" leaves the rectangles unchanged.
I quickly tried drawing ellipses and saw a similar behaviour when there is a Default template, but not when there is no template. Perhaps this applies to other user drawn chart objects.
Cheers
Tony
