[GNC] Closest to report date bug?

[Marta Neeziak]

Thank you, this is good to know.

Unfortunately, the "Last up through report date" is not what I'm looking
for since it only shows one price across the whole report period (graph
scales up/down by units/shares, not price)...

Is there anyway for me to manually change the report time zone or price
data time zone? I don't think that this was a good change, at all, since
there is now a clear disconnect between what people will expect to see on
their screens vs. what is happening on the back end w/ time zones.

Would appreciate any support in helping me get this resolved on either my
machine (manually) or a fix globally in a new version.

Thanks again.
