Bot closing positions and essentially stopping when chart changes timeframe | Results in losses!

Hello,

It used to be that you could not switch charts when a bot was active on a chart, now this is not the case. 

Switching to another chart leads to the bot stopping and then restarting when back on the chart. This needs to change as soon as possible to the previous behavior! I have taken losses simply because I wanted to analyze other timeframes and simply, through force of habit, switched charts. 

I want to know what I can do to fix this and make sure my positions do not close and I cannot change a chart with an active bot on it!

Having 20 bot instances running on my VPS, I've changed charts a gazillion times and not once has a bot ever closed a position when changing a chart. They might stop and restart, but positions certainly aren't closed.

Can you post a video of this behavior?
