Using the scroll wheel to pan charts ...
- Scroll down - moves chart 'back in time' as expected
- Scroll up ' move chart to left ... increasing the white-space/margin area on the right of the chart ... You can move it all the way left such that there is only one bar remaining on the screen.
To reset, just move the regular scroll bar a bit.
Have a video, but it's huge

Correct, this is new behaviour and is expected.

What is the purpose /requirement for this?
It only works with the scroll wheel ... not the scroll bar
And can it be turned off?

You have drawn objects that extend to the right of the current bar on the chart and you want to see this object(s).
Will see what others says about this as I am 50/50 on it personally. It can not be disabled.

I see how that could be useful
Perhaps you could display the same black icon that's now used when scrolling a chart back to the right ....

Let me think on that, I suspect I will do that since I have already been thinking about that.
In the interim, what I always do is press the "End" key.

I really like the scroll left feature so I can draw an ellipse etc and see it to the right of the last bar. In 6.0 you can not draw past the current bar as you know.
Also, if the last bar is fixed on the right margin and the chart is in the lower right corner of the screen, you can not see the databox when you click the scroll wheel on the last bar....i.e. the databox is drawn off screen to the right and/or below the bottom of the screen. With the scroll left feature, you can move the last bar to the left and drag the price scale down to compress the chart, then click the mouse scroll wheel and you can see the databox. Without this feature, you have to move the whole chart which is a pain to relocate.
So...thanks for putting this in and I hope you do not take it out.
