Turning a study off and on retrains its sub-chart setting but only if MC is still running. - [OPEN] MC-1130

This problem of MC changing the subchart a study/indicator is applied to happened under a different situation today on all my charts (60 min, 30min, 15min, 10min, 5min) except not on the 1 min and 10 second. The only difference is that the 1 minute bar chart is inside MC and the other charts are outside MC so I can have macroexpress position the larger charts consistently.
. .
IMPACT:
In total a count of 7 studies had to be manually changed back to subchart #1 where they always have been and always should be. Each of these manual corrections takes exactly 7 mouse clicks. In total this manual correction took me a total of 7 * 7 = 49 mouse clicks due to what I consider a bug in MC and it appears two others agree with me based upon the votes. If my feature requests were in place for the PM system the number would be higher.
. .
I doubt you or I can reproduce this but here is what happened. I simply changed the studiy over the weekend (with several recompiles over about 7 hours) and did nothing else. Maybe MC was up during one of the compiles (I am not sure). This problem may not be the biggest problem in the MC world but MC should eventually be changed to remember that these studies are designated by my decision to be applied to subchart #1 and it should never change it on the user no matter what happens. In other words, I believe there will never be an exception to this rule.
