Tool Selection Automatically Switches to Cursor Instead of Staying on Crosshair

Bug Reports

I’ve noticed that whenever I select a drawing tool like the rectangle tool, the software automatically switches the pointer to the standard cursor tool instead of keeping it on the crosshair. This makes it harder to accurately align and position my drawing, as I can’t clearly see where it will line up on the chart before I start.

Of course, I can manually switch back to the crosshair after selecting the tool, but this adds extra steps and interrupts the workflow. It would be much more streamlined if the default behavior kept the crosshair active when selecting drawing tools, with the option to switch to the cursor if needed—similar to how it’s handled on TradingView. This small adjustment would make a big difference in usability.

How does this impact your experience?

    Hi @User , thanks for your detailed feedback.

    I understand the workflow issue you're describing. You can actually make the crosshair stay on the chart by selecting it from the top-left menu bar (where the other cursor options are).


    Once you select the crosshair from that menu, it will remain active even after you use a drawing tool. Let me know if that helps.
