Hello Henry

I do nothing special. It's there then... not there
Happen without moving the mouse or selecting something else.

I had the problem since a while, but it just start to bother me

You can use ScreenHunter from http://wisdom-soft.com/
It is free.
Just press a hot key and the screen is captured.
A "must-have" for every trader.

please sent me your direct email via my private inbox

Martin

P.S.
I did have a screen capture tool, Hypersnap. The file to download for screen recording is AutoScreenRecorder from the provider link given by TJ.

OK, I made it to Dropbox

Here is the link:http://dl.dropbox.com/u/42663792/AutoSc ... 007.12.avi

Price marker is not there, then it appeared, 30 sec later, it disappeared again.

Sometime, I see that it is there because it erased the pixel behind it but it is not showed on the screen.

I believe what you are seeing is due to the white candle body you have selected -- it "disappears" against the white chart background.

You can do this test to verify -- set the chart background to a color (eg gray), you might be able to see the price scale turn white when the price is in the candle body.

Wow! TG You impress me again....
That was the problem....

Is it possible to select another font for the marker? I'm allergic (sic) .... to another color than white for the background...

We have reproduced the issue in our environment.
We confirm this bug.
The fix is scheduled for Multicharts 7.01

The color of the price marker is connected to the color of the close of the bar (Format instruments->Style->Chart style->Close). It is not possible to change it separately from the close.
