Question on "bars in test" backtesting on M15

my optimization is behaving entirely differently after update to builld 3231

I was happily running optimization until recent update to build 3231 24mar2022 and now I am getting these identical messages pass 61440 tested with error "critical runtime error 565 in OnTick function (error code 565, module Experts\my_ea.ex5, file 65535, line 1, col 1)" in 0 : 12 : 02.882 searching
