TWS software update -- all fonts too big now. Anyone else?

Discussion in 'Interactive Brokers' started by d0rian, Feb 4, 2020.

  1. Try going back to Tues or Monday saved version. I did that and it changed my windows back but the fonts were large. I clicked the Aa button back and forth then returned to todays version under settings and all was good. Maybe dumb luck

    That didn't work for me...But beyond the window and font stuff which is just fixing...the performance overall of TWS is worse. I dont know what IB is doing

    Just created a new thread to alert others that API order submission is also busted; that's WAY too fundamental a functionality to have been affected by a software rollout. Using this version is playing russian roulette until they acknowledge/fix.

    Never auto-update the TWS. Use the offline installer.

    Why do you say that? (And how could one 'turn off' the auto-update in the LATEST version of TWS? Pretty sure I'm never even given the choice, it just...well, auto-updates upon launch)

    (p.s. IB says they're aware of widespread issues with this roll-out)

    Download the offline installer, not the regular one. That won't auto-update. Auto-updating critical software is pretty stupid if you don't have backups of previous versions readily available.

    unfortunately now I cant go back...they dont allow you to download version even one version back.

    If you have the TWS latest version that was just before todays version a share would be awesome. That version was smooth with no perfromance issues that I noticed. The usual glitches sure...but it was smooth and responsive for most part

    I thought I did but I don't have one for Windows.

    This is unexpected that fonts were affected; I presume that lowering font size via aA in Mosaic toolbar helped, right? Nevertheless, would you please upload your bundle via Help - Upload Diagnostics, please add note "re ET issue with fonts" and PM me your first 4 letters of your user name. Thank you.
