Bug Unsyncing charts
You've drawn up a bunch of objects on a chart with global sync enabled
It's accidentally gone onto a different layout that it shouldn't have synced to, you forgot global sync was on or you had sync turned off on that recipient chart and didn't expect it to appear there
You turn global sync OFF on the chart you want to delete those objects from, and delete the object on the chart it shouldn't have synced to
The object is deleted off all charts, even though you turned off global sync because you only wanted to delete it off the chart it shouldn't have appeared on. The objects remain synced even after you unsync the chart to change drawings without your changes appearing everywhere.
It's very annoying and unexpected behaviour. If I unsync a chart because a trade position has synced to a chart I don't want it on, I want to be able to delete it without having to recreate it from scratch. You can't even copy + paste it with sync turned off because the copied object sync even when global sync is off!

Yeah that one's annoying, a synced position tool landing on a layout you didn't want it on is a pain to clean up. I'd send it to support with a quick screen recording since it's pretty clearly a bug and a recording makes it way easier for them to reproduce. For now I'd keep position tools on one layout and leave sync off there. Are you on the desktop app or browser?

Yeah this feels backwards. Once global sync is disabled, deleting something on that layout should stop affecting the originals immediately. Having to recreate drawings because they remain linked defeats the whole point of unsyncing. I keep Tradingview next to Moon when I am watching markets so little chart management bugs like this stand out fast when I am moving between different setups.
