I see from other posts from years back that the "slippery grid column width" problem has been around for awhile. My scenario is this:
As others have mentioned, this behavior is very annoying. So, too, is the behavior of columns other than the one I'm adjusting, which change width according to some obscure algorithm. I suppose this behavior was supposed to be helpful in some way. It is not.
Couldn't you eliminate that "feature" of automatically adjusting grid column widths and just let us set our own column widths manually and then have NinjaTrader leave them alone?
On a related note, workspace window Z-order is also slippery. The workaround I've found for that problem is to edit the workspace XML to my desired Z-order, which then seems to stick.
- Two workspaces loaded
- A MarketAnalyzer window in each workspace
- Switching back and forth between the two workspaces alters the MarketAnalyzer grid appearance so that each column reverts to its apparently-default-behavior of equal-width design, undoing any column width customization that I have performed.
