Drawing Tool Hiccup

I've been having an issue since the new release - if I draw a line, select it and Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V is usually duplicates it, but has recently caused an error which gives me the option to close the program or continue. Continuation is futile; the charts keep building, but nothing else seems to work. I can clear it with a shutdown & restart of OEC.

Vista 64bit.

Anyone else?

No such problem using Windows 7 (32 bit), I rather use a right click/copy/paste though.
Last Prod and demo are fine.

Re: Drawing Tool Hiccup

Another item I've notices is misalignment when selecting a different period.

If I draw a significant trend line on the fifteen (places more price history on the screen) and then switch to a five minute chart, the trend line is misplaced. Switching back to the fifteen doesn't correct it until I poke at the chart, zoom-in, zoom-out, refresh, etc.

This inhibits recording significant lines.

Click on the link below and take a look at this brief video - it illustrates the issue.

I can recreate this at will.

Vista 64, latest OEC version.

I do not get the same errors.

I also prefer to right-click as well, but the ctl is fine here too.

I've about had it with the program. Nice company, but with each release it seems to get more unstable. May just be my PC, but none of my other three charting packages misbehave.

You could try a reinstall, but I cannot replicate the error on my end.

I can't even recall the last issue I had, so I would say the program continues to improve - although at this point I don't need much to do my job.
