I had that problem with v3.5, but it went away with v4.6, but I don't use flatpak, so maybe that has an issue. However, I want to thank you because I didn't know if you double-click on the column heading it adjusts the size of the column. Thanks again. Thank You, Gyle McCollam Gyle McCollam

Thanks for the reply, David. The report displays on the screen as a 4 decimal value, however that value is rounded as if it is a 2 decimal place value. For example:   if the value entered  is $45.6789 ,  it is immediately switched to $45.6800.   That becomes the new value and throws the fund

I've had the same issue it rounding my 5 decimal holdings to 2 decimals. I was told that if you select OK, it rounds to 2 decimals in v4.6, but if you just hit enter it leaves it as you entered it. That works for me, although I do think that needs to be fixed. Thank You, Gyle McCollam Gyle

I am still using release 3.8, but as far as I can remember in the past, price displays defaulted to four decimal places. In fact, right now I cannot find where that decimal count is determined. If release 4.6 only shows two decimal places, I would consider that to be a bug. On the other hand if

Using GNUCash 4.6 I manually update my mutual fund closing price daily for the investment/advanced portfolio reports.  My report preference is set to a 4 decimal number, as that is the format my bank supplies.  However, when I update the price, these reports round the price value to 2 decimal

No, you don't want Imbalance-USD to have a balance. That's a safety-valve account that GnuCash uses when you make an unbalanced transaction by mistake. Opening Balances is for personal books. For a business you have two kinds of Equity: Paid in Capital, which is the money that you and any

I guess that goes to Imbalance-USD, but then how does that balance out? Or is it that once all the amounts are correct, it will balance and the imbalance must revert to zero? How does that happen if some of the opening balances were non-zero out of thin air? On Wed, Sep 22, 2021 at 4:21 PM

Roger, I found it easier to leave all the opening balances at zero while setting up the chart of accounts (COA).  Then I create one massive opening transaction dated (in your case) 12/31/2019. That way, if I find I forgot one account, I can add it later then go back and adjust the opening
