Indicators on Chart show popup text for lines that are turn off (not ticked) thus reducing area available for right click menu (zoom etc)
27 Nov 2024, 21:15
Chart can get quite cluttered by these hidden popup texts for unticked lines of a complex indicator, and right clicking there will unintentionally bring up the indicator's control window instead of the normal menu for zoom/viewing options etc, so you have to ‘work in the dark’ to find a clear bit.
I did not understand what you are trying to describe. Can you visualize this somehow so that we can understand which popup texts you are referring to?

When you hover the mouse over a line of an indicator it highlight's the whole line as a wide light grey line, and shows a text near the mouse saying the name of the indicator, its parameters in brackets, and the current value at that point. I called that text ‘popup text’. The problem is the text seems to appear regardless of whether the line is ticked (to show normally) or not (only the text 'pops up', the line itself remain correctly hidden).
To reproduce, add any indicator to a chart, say an EMA that only has one line, set its parameters so its line is well away from the candlesticks or any other stuff on the chart, hover on the line, see the ‘popup text’ & ‘fat’ line. All correct so far. Then right click & untick the line, click ok to remove the control box, and hover where the line was - the text will show and a right click there will bring up the control box again, whereas the text should not show and right clicking there should just cause the normal right-click chart menu to show (the same as if you right-clicked on the chart in other free space). The hidden line seems to be contaminating the what-looks-like free areas of the chart. It's probably a one-line fix.

Mouse is hovering over where the Middle line would show if it were ticked - it is unticked so correctly doesn't show, but also should not produce text when hovered over.
