Hi there,
being a newbie to AB, so bear with me, though what you are describing
sounds familiar (if I have misunderstood your problem, forgive me,
though I did read all the mails) :)
(I take it that you have turned out the auto-save on exit in Preferences.)
I found that opening a new Window actually does not open a 'new'
window, strictly speaking, though rather the same window twice (or
rather, the one based on your saved template).
Whatever you change 'inside' one window, you change in all windows
(although the changes to the second window might not update its
display until you have shifted focus to it, even if you have them
side-by-side). This goes for everything you drag-n-drop into the
window (though not interval and symbol and other 'externals).
Or put another way, everything that is in the chart underlying code
(seen through Edit).
AB remembers what you have dragged into a chart by that chart's chart
ID (check parameters for the chart, it will be there towards the bottom).
So when you save the layout and make changes to the chart, this are
still bound to the chart ID, which will be the same as before (even
without saving the changes).
There is a real simple solution to this: When you have saved your
first layout/window/chart, insert ex. price as a new chart (doubble
clicking as opposed to dragging it into an existing pane), i.e. as a
new and independent pane, then close all the previous panes/charts in
your window.
Your new chart/pane will have new and freshly created Chart ID and
what you do here will not affect your previous layout/window.
Obviously, you can keep opening more charts/panes with new Chart IDs.
As I said, Newbie Alert, so apologies if this is not all technically
correct, though the solution does work (and I already bow my head,
fearing the lash of the vhip of the more clever people around here).
Hope I understood your question correctly at least.
All the best...
