  1. Yep, zzzzzzzzzz1 ,could have guessed you were are 5 column kinda guy with 1 window.
    You aren't a power user, so how would you run into any issues?

  2. PS, I explained there was a problem with the columns resizing themselves from one page to the next seemingly randomly, and you post a snapshot of a quote montage as proof of no problem.

    I hope your trading is better than your mastery of logic.

    Same with entire pages... No resized columns... Your issue is not reproducible so far. Why don't you stop being a total arse for a second and post a walkthrough to reproduce the error?

  4. No, don't think I will.

    We already had someone confirm they also have issues.

    Maybe they will indulge your type.

  5. Try getting set current width as max to work. epic fail

  6. Starting to think the layout thing is user error.

    As in , the user made the mistake of being a client

    I can only hope zzzzzzz1 adds more than one tab and 3 cols one day and is infected

  7. Was good for a while after I went out of my way to insure no issues.

    Then I click on something completely unrelated to column sizes

    And every single tab got hosed.

    Buggy bullshit. Hard to imagine no one else sees this, unless you're all pikers with 1 page a 3 columns.

  8. Yes. It's a battle. You're basically playing with fire any time you add/remove/resize a column.

    A much bigger issue is that fact that do not have an 'undo' feature after all these years.

    Today TWS updated itself, even with all "auto update" features disabled to 963.3a and off course rather than trade i already spent 2 hours fixing same almost two DECADES old issue-all columns are messed up,"recovery" doesn't do shit. some columns are added by itself like expiration time and so on. ticker action...i don't even know WFT this shit means..why you do this to us all the time,every singe time? all morning is wasted and i'm still not able to bring them all into same order. now try to do this exercise,if you have multiple accounts.
