Description

Sending back (in the visual order) some indicators makes the feature "Track Time and Price" to stop working.

Steps to reproduce this issue
  1. New workspace
  2. Add two charts identical (same instrument, same resolution etc...)
  3. Create this indicator that I called "Test_Background_EMA":

    inputs: PosColor(green), NegColor(red);
    variables: var1_upvalue(999999),
    var2_dnvalue(-999999),
    var3_color(0);

    if c >= averagefc(c, 21) then begin
    var3_color = PosColor;
    end else
    var3_color = NegColor;

    Plot1 (var1_upvalue, "top", var3_color);
    Plot2 (var2_dnvalue, "bot", var3_color);

  4. Insert this indicator into one of the two charts (just one of the two), change the plottypes to "Bar High"
    and "Bar Low" and change the thickness to level 5 or higher.
    Change the indicator to be shown in Subgraph 1 and "User defined" in scaling, 100, -100 as values.
    Right click the indicator in the chart and change "Visual Order" to "Send to Back".
    Insert this indicator into your chart, change the PlotTypes to "Bar High" and "Bar Low" and change the thickness to level 5 or higher.

  5. Right click the indicator in the chart and change "Visual Order" to "Send to Back". (it's here that the "track time and price" feature will stop to work)

I don't know if this could help but I noticed that adding another indicator, after the steps described in the issue, for example a "Mov Avg 1 Line", putting it to back and invisible, makes the "Tracking Time and Price" feature to start working again.
