Interactive Brokers TWS Bug Thread

Happy New Year everyone!

Not sure if this falls more into the bug or feature request realm, but there is a long standing issue with booktrader in which bid/ask size is obscured whenever the order key is displayed for bracket orders:

The only solution is to widen the columns, which is sometimes impossible if you run several booktraders or lack space on your screen. Is there any way to override the order key display?
 
Red warning on the charts popped up today stating the charts were disconnected. My TWS quotes then went out. Gave up trying to contact IB by phone and used chat. They refreshed my market subscriptions and it started working again. They said it's a issue on their end.
 
version 933.5 I move the columns in the account window portfolio to the order I want, do a save in the main tws window. next day I logon and the columns are in a different order. Used to be fine.

this is an ongoing issue,FOR YEARS, in different window areas. you may have to get use to it. for now, try another version if it is important.
 
The disconnections on HMDS server have been ongoing, since the EU open, an hour ago.

I understand there is a backup server - but the corruption of the any open charts is very annoying.

If you're not prepared to *fully* hand over all TWS clients over to the backup server (i.e force all client's TWS to refresh all their open charts) because of your potential server load; Then you really need to make the main HMDS server more available.

edit: What's maddening is that TWS API clients get to carry on as normal but TWS's charts are corrupted until the normal HMDS server is working *and* the customer has manually refreshed the TWS chart! ...This is a good example of why people are pissed over TWS.

They assume that the people using the API are worth more as customers? ...more likely to have three digit IQ's and be successful traders? Just sayin'
 
I'm talking about the regular TWS API that all retail customers can freely use ... Not the FiX protocol.

I have no idea if FiX customers are getting these disconnects, I guess not, but that's besides the point.
