Unofficial TWS bug thread

Quote from ej420:

Seeing bid/ask all over the place today for SPY. They get stuck at certain values, or are just generally not in sync with last.
I'm seeing this both in TWS and API calls from my code.
So annoying...

same s*t on one account.
 
In TWS when I click on Trades>Summary (in the top bar) it usually shows me in correct profit. Sometimes it even shows incorrect number of buys and sells.

I am using Build 894.4
 
I know nobody else here uses IB's charts, but one little issue that just cropped up is that the bar that was last touched by the mouse stays highlighted indefinitely (no double-click, no right-click needed), or until you touch another bar.

Not a big deal - just a little annoying.
 
I'm using the chart grouping function in IB's TWS.

As I tab through the stocks in the order management window the Javaw.exe memory use increases without ever decreasing.

Each time I tab to another stock, TWS uses another 5,000k memory.

Problem is it never releases the memory.

This continues until program reaches its max memory limit (currently set at 1 gig) and the freezes.

I have to use task manager to kill TWS and reload.

TWS has recently been upgraded to 898.4. Are you happy with its performance and reliability, or do you think 890.6 is still the most trustworthy version (as suggested by kiwi_trader)?

Comments invited!

Have you sent problem ticket to their customer support?
 
This is utterly annoying. I don't use the completed order filter and yet TWS seems to want to remind me that it's there constantly. IB tech support apparently believes it can be cancelled by simply hovering the mouse over it (like I wouldn't figure to try that without them).

Anyone run into this yet?

If you click on the "completed order filter" icon, a TWS Configuration/Orders window will appear. Just check "never blink."
 
For the record. I dropped 890.6 with the last upgrade and went to 898.4 with Java 1.6.0_16.
Its been good.

I have had cause to bring stuff up with TWS charts a couple of times - all I can say is Thank (name your deity) for Sierra Chart.
