Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-T will get your last closed tab back. (personally, I'd find it easier to remember Ctrl/Cmd-Shift-W since Ctrl/Cmd-W is what closed it, shifting would reverse that action, similar to TAB & Shift-TAB in other contexts, but since Ctrl/Cmd-T opens a new tab, I can sort of see why

I'm curious how separate windows for registers is advantageous over separate tabs. I routinely keep several registers open as well as reports - all in tabs, and can easily switch between them. I've never found a point where I'd like, or need, to see two tabs (and thus windows) simultaneously.

Jeff, Report display has to do with webkit. Perhaps check to see if it needs updating as well, or if for some reason you've pinned an old version to prevent updating. (but then you'd need to recall why you pinned it so as not to break something else.) That might not be the culprit, but it

Do the splits *that match the open account register* have 'paid' in their memos? If the 'paid' text is in a memo assigned to some *other* account, you will not get results. Memos are not for the open register, but only for accounts matching *for that split*. e.g., Dr. Expenses:Utilities

And if you just need the number without it being in a cell, you can select a cell from any column in the first non-header row, then CTRL-D to select everything down the column to the end of the data, and your status bar should show you the result of COUNT(). If not, you can most likely add it
