Description philip.barwood 2014-04-29 13:13:17 EDT

I have a chart with some TColorLineTool on it. Every time I modify the .dfm and save it, it produces another copy of the original TColorLineTool I had on the chart. 

This is a new bug since the last update.... i.e since this issue was fixed: http://www.teechart.net/support/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=14525&hilit=TColorLineTool.

Originally:

        object chttoolAPESelection: TColorBandTool
          AllowDrag = False
          Color = 13828095
          DrawBehindAxes = True
          EndValue = 2.000000000000000000
          Pen.Visible = False
          ResizeEnd = True
          ResizeStart = True
          StartLinePen.Color = clSilver
          AxisID = 0
          object TColorLineTool
            Active = False
            DragRepaint = True
            Pen.Color = clSilver
            AxisID = 0
            object TAnnotationTool
              Shape.Alignment = taCenter
              Shape.Shadow.Visible = False
              Shape.TextAlignment = taCenter
              TextAlignment = taCenter
            end
          end
          object TColorLineTool
            Active = False
            DragRepaint = True
            Value = 2.000000000000000000
            AxisID = 0
            object TAnnotationTool
              Shape.Alignment = taCenter
              Shape.Shadow.Visible = False
              Shape.TextAlignment = taCenter
              TextAlignment = taCenter
            end
          end
        end

After saving changes to .dfm:

        object chttoolAPESelection: TColorBandTool
          AllowDrag = False
          Color = 13828095
          DrawBehindAxes = True
          EndValue = 2.000000000000000000
          Pen.Visible = False
          ResizeEnd = True
          ResizeStart = True
          StartLinePen.Color = clSilver
          AxisID = 0
          object TColorLineTool
            Active = False
            DragRepaint = True
            Pen.Color = clSilver
            AxisID = 0
            object TAnnotationTool
              Shape.Alignment = taCenter
              Shape.Shadow.Visible = False
              Shape.TextAlignment = taCenter
              TextAlignment = taCenter
            end
          end
          object TColorLineTool
            Active = False
            DragRepaint = True
            Value = 2.000000000000000000
            AxisID = 0
            object TAnnotationTool
              Shape.Alignment = taCenter
              Shape.Shadow.Visible = False
              Shape.TextAlignment = taCenter
              TextAlignment = taCenter
            end
          end
        end
        object TColorLineTool
          Active = False
          DragRepaint = True
          Value = 2.000000000000000000
          AxisID = 0
          object TAnnotationTool
            Shape.Alignment = taCenter
            Shape.Shadow.Visible = False
            Shape.TextAlignment = taCenter
            TextAlignment = taCenter
          end
        end
        object TColorLineTool
          Active = False
          DragRepaint = True
          Pen.Color = clSilver
          AxisID = 0
          object TAnnotationTool
            Shape.Alignment = taCenter
            Shape.Shadow.Visible = False
            Shape.TextAlignment = taCenter
            TextAlignment = taCenter
          end
        end

Each time saving the .dfm adds and extra 2 color line tools.
