I went through the section 9.5.3 Entering Pre-Existing Stocks for about the fifth time. Don't know what I did differently but it now works as expected. Before it used to crash when I tried a price update.
Actually it still crashes when I click on Apply instead of Ok when editing a Price Entry. (I think, I need to check it out more to determine exactly what I am doing to cause the crash). Is there a related bug in 2.6.12?
