Watchlist random behaviour with multiple charts

[jspot99]

Does anyone's watchlist exhibit random behaviour with multiple charts?

I have several charts with different symbols already loaded.

I then add a new symbol to my watchlist and one of the charts will randomly update to some other symbols that's already in the watchlist.

There seems to be no pattern as to which chart will update and to what existing symbol.

Sometimes no chart will update (which should be the correct behaviour - just add the symbol to the watchlist and stop there).

Kudos if anyone can shed light on this mystery...

Figured this out. It is not random:

If a watchlist has link mode enabled and symbol A is currently selected, and then symbol B is added:
1. Symbol B will be added to the watchlist in the existing sort order
2. Symbol A will remain selected
3. The chart that was last clicked will reload symbol A

To avoid having charts reload, just disable watchlist link mode, add the symbol(s), and then re-enable link mode.
