the tooltips box stays showing as long as you have set in the preferences
chances are the spacing is something to do with your code, need to see that

colours - why not set them your self rather than use colorcycle

Anthony, thanks to you and Terry for a serious reply.
 
Two of the three stooges, Fred and his brother dingo, are still trying to decide which side of the turnip truck to get off on.     ......  :)
 
Actually, the tooltips check box is on (unchecking it turns it off, as it is supposed to).
 
I have 25 different tickers that have been plotted and I can see (in the blinking tooltips box) that only about 12 of them are showing.  They are double spaced (wonder why not single spaced), and perhaps because not all of them will fit on the screen, is what makes the thing blink on and off.
 
So, besides the blinking tooltips box and how to stop it (if it can be stopped) is the broader question of how to identify multiple plotted lines when the color coding repeats.  Any ideas on that aspect?  Again, I was going to put the cursor on the line of interest, see what its vertical value is at that point and then look at the list in the Title statement to find the matching value--thus identifying the line.  The blinking box sort of makes that hard to do.
