TWS 949.3. Noticed starting on March 4 that, in a chart, once I narrow a bar thickness (from 3 pixels to 1), I can no longer widen it again (the View->Bar Thickness->Increase Bar Width button is greyed out). Even if I close the chart and create a new one with the same time scale. But if I create a chart using another time scale, I'm back with a 3-pixel width... until I narrow the bar again, and then I can't widen it.

From comparing the settings file before and after, it looks like under <ChartWindowConfig> there is a <BarInflateMap>. If I narrow the bar width in a 9hrs/1min chart, then <Entry key="5:9 hours" val="0"> gets added under <BarInflateMap>. val="0" seems to mean "user can't widen bars here"; the handful of other Entry elements there have either val="0" (for my typical 1day/1min chart) or val="1". If I change val="0" to val="1" and restore settings, the 3-pixel-wide bars reappear.

Back end issue -

All the exchange-traded treasury intercommodity spreads (NOB, FOB, etc...) disappeared from TWS after the March futures expiration, can't pull up the front month (June)

Tws mosaic version 954.2a chart of zb z5 30 year bond futures on globex displays an invalid price when the crosshairs is selected. The scale goes 156 31/32 156 32/32 157 00 as you move the crosshairs up the screen. The 156 32/32 is a mistake it should go 156 31/32 157 00

Did you recently use the mobile app? That could have triggered the dual session thingy.

Yeah my settings get randomly re-conjigerred from time to time, partially here and there, a little random WTF action

Nope. Never tried mobile. As for settings-the only thing I can recommend is to backup backup backup

Do you have TWS set to upload (and save) your settings on the IB servers?

i rarely trade these days,but even executing couple passive trades a month is enough to expose those bugs in TWS. have no idea how you guys deal with it on daily basis..latest example. i'm not sure what is going on here at all. PNL shows profit,report-shows loss, trade is not displayed in TWS trade window,but clearly shows in account management..oh well..go figure..
