Foresight Forecast > Chart sometimes fails to complete
I recently updated MD to v2024 (5117). Since then the Chart panel of Foresight Forecast randomly stops calculating and fails to complete. It starts, and then stops at some unpredictable point. (*Sometime* it seems to have stopped if I moved the mouse at all, but that's not required... maybe just related.) If I click the Calculate button it will start over, but may stop again at a different random point. If I then switch to the Transactions panel, it has also stopped.
The Chart calculation almost never finishes anymore. It usually stops after 1 to 3 months of calculations. It *seems* that it often stops on a rolling month boundary, e.g. today is 04-22 and it has stopped on 06-21 and 07-22. But that's not consistent.
I also noticed that *sometimes* the chart has some lines flickering in and out as it builds. It's as if the right-side endpoint of each account line on the graph is momentarily drawing a line back to the left axis, then quickly deleting it. I did not see that behavior in v2023. It's not really a problem, but I mention it in case it is related to the failure to complete the chart.
If I go to the Transactions panel and click Calculate and wait, it seems to always finish. I can watch the scroll thumb get smaller until it stops, or if I drag the scroll thumb to the bottom to watch progress, it has never failed to complete. Then I click the Chart button and the chart is finished and complete. The downside is that I typically have it set to 12 months, and so I can't reliably see any partial results.

I'm just another user - Not IK/MD support
This is being looked into - see the active discussion
Although no one else (including me) has mentioned it, I concur with you on the flickering issue (in my case I wasn't sure that it wasn't down to the lower power CPU/GPU on the machine I'm testing MD2024.x on vs. that of my 'live' system).
If you chip-in at the above discussion you'll get any updates - you could also mention the flickering there as well.

Thanks... I did search for Foresight Forecast before starting a new discussion but I didn't find anything recent. I could add a link over there, or could paste my text there. I think my post does add some new info, about the behavior of the Transactions tab separate from the Chart tab.

Out of interest, can you confirm that you only have the file:
In your Moneydance install folder, /lib sub folder? Ie there should be no other older jfreexxxxx.jar files?(Yes there will be other named (non jfree) jar files too and that’s fine) Let me know?

I am experiencing precisely the same issues in every detail as the original poster.
I have the latest Moneydance update. I only have one jfreechart-1.5.4.jar file.
I am on the latest Manjaro KDE stable edition.

Any idea when this might go live? The latest version available seems to be 5118.

We are up to alpha preview 5143 but I do not think it is quite ready for release yet, there are a few things to address.
