FM2018 beta alert

Comments, critical feedback, praise, or suggestions for new features.

I noticed the change to the alerts in 2018beta and tested this morning.

It appears that once a price alert is triggered, I am unable to do anything else (view graph, change windows, view investments in portfolio editor, etc) until I clear the alert? Is this the intent?

Ideally the alert dialog box could remain open without interfering with the other aspects of the program as was the case previously. Otherwise it forces immediate action on the alert.

Thanks
Mark

Hi Mark,

Yes, that was a change in FM2018. Previously the alert popup was its own top level window. This causes another item to show on the taskbar in windows. In an effort to minimize the extra top level windows we made this change. I can see how that would be less useful now, so we will switch it back to how it was before.
Thanks,
Mark
