Create a new project.
Add a TChart
Open the editor and add a THighLowSeries
Close the editor. The series is filled.
Go to "View as text". It looks as follows:

    object Series1: THighLowSeries
      HighValues.Name = 'High'
      HighValues.Order = loNone
      LowValues.Name = 'Low'
      LowValues.Order = loNone
      XValues.Name = 'X'
      XValues.Order = loAscending
      LowBrush.Style = bsClear
    end

Go back to "View as Form". The series fill has been lost!
If you go to "View as text" again, you see this:

    object Series1: THighLowSeries
      HighValues.Name = 'High'
      HighValues.Order = loNone
      LowValues.Name = 'Low'
      LowValues.Order = loNone
      Pen.Color = clDefault
      XValues.Name = 'X'
      XValues.Order = loAscending
      HighBrush.Style = bsClear
      LowBrush.Style = bsClear
    end

Then, back to the form view, if I open the editor, I uncheck the Transparent checkbox for both High and Low Brushes, and I go back to the text view of the form, the HighBrush.Style and LowBrush.Style properties are not saved:

    object Series1: THighLowSeries
      HighValues.Name = 'High'
      HighValues.Order = loNone
      LowValues.Name = 'Low'
      LowValues.Order = loNone
      Pen.Color = clDefault
      XValues.Name = 'X'
      XValues.Order = loAscending
    end

This makes the projects not to remember the state of these properties when they are loaded

A workaround would be setting it at runtime:

  Series1.HighBrush.Style:=bsSolid;
