Build 5399 Bug(s)

Assuming that both pics were taken and uploaded at the same scale, the font size in the after-pic appears to be larger. I would backup the ex5 file, open the mq5 file, edit the font size (if you don't have a font size input), and recompile (even if you don't make any edits). If the mq5 won't recompile due to a Compiler update, you still have the old backup.

Looks like the borders are slighly different also, i.e. square corners vs rounded, or perhaps transparent borders that are showing the black background. 

Documenting the issue for now, if anyone else notices issues in their environment. I haven't seen the Build 5399 change log published yet.

I believe that. The after-pic's font looks darker and crisper too. I guess that the thing that irks me the worst is the text spacing. 

For some reason, I can't zoom in on your pic (my eyes aren't the best). Maybe it's a file type issue.

Luckily I use a VMware virtual machine with snapshots. I rolled back the my Friday Build 5370 snapshot and started over.

Removed all other indicators, and set the line graph color to None. Changed the Chart Background color to Aqua. Set the CChartObjectButton border color to Magenta using the indicator input, not a recompile.

Below here, the first image on the left is Build 5370. The second image on the right is Build 5399. In addition to the font difference, it does in fact show the border is squared now and somehow there is a blank or transparent portion of the border too.

     

For documentation. Waiting for Build 5399 change log.

The images are showing as actual size. Maybe that is why you can't zoom? You can use the Windows 11 Magnifer tool to enlarge.

This is a beta build, not a release build, so I don't think there will be a changelog for it.

Based on this post, I can assume that they are working on updating the chart graphics engine (GDI -> Blend2D).

If you provide the code, it will greatly increase the chances of a fix (if it really is a terminal bug). Not your super-secret million-line code, but the bare minimum code to reproduce the problem (which creates one button, for example). Plus, screenshots of the provided code running on different builds.

the price scale is gone, on MT5 on mac OS "wine wrapper " 

Please provide a screenshot. Also please specify the Wine version.

Hmm... if it is a Beta build, why did my MetaTrader update automatically? The About on my system does not indicate it is Beta. Where is the option setting to use Beta's? I am using the MQL5.com download and MetaQuotes demo account.

Here is a pruned version of the code. (Note that in the full version there is also an option to show periods that I pruned most of out.)
