TS8 Chart Problems

Have you or other DG users had problems with the charts in TS 8.2?
My "overlay" wide bars are now cut off exactly at the endpoint - with square ends, not rounded as before.

This is actually a design change in TradeStation that enhances accuracy.
Yes, the aesthetics are not as attractive but if you are referring to what I think you are I think if you investigate the case is actually that the exact highs and lows are being graphically displayed as opposed to the rounded tops of bars which were deceptively a bit higher or lower than the
actual price. The change seems only to affect the indictor plotting (and
we use the Bar indicator and the overlays to represent price on some charts
as opposed to using the native TradeStation symbol display bar).
In any case TradeStation has not made this user-selectable and so there's no going back to the nicer-looking-but-less-accurate version.
