Description

When I manually adjust the price scale to a specific range, then close down MC.net and restart it. The previously set price scale on a chart is forgotten and reverted back to automatic scaling.
This is super super tedious for discretionary traders that have their eyes tuned to a certain size bar for a given volatility. I have 47 workspaces each with 5 charts on it. To manually go through each of those charts each day and adjust the price scale to what I am used to is tediously unnecessary and poor usability design of this product. The users settings should persist between successive MC runs.

Steps to reproduce this issue

When I manually adjust the price scale to a specific range, then close
down MC.net and restart it. The previously set price scale on a chart is
forgotten and reverted back to automatic scaling.

Andrew,
You changed the status from 'Bug' to 'Feature Request' and I feel this is wrong. On the format instruments window, the price scale is the ONLY ITEM on all the tabs that is NOT SAVED. That is a usability bug and is inconsistent behaviour.

The reason the type was changed is that the behavior you described is expected. it is originally designed to work thiis way.
