Thomas Unless you take the time to try to replicate the problem and create a bug report, the rest of us will quickly forget about it. If we don't see it happening with our data sets we will conclude that yours was a case of operator error. On Fri, Dec 30, 2022, 3:17 PM Thomas Forrester wrote:

I won't actually be experimenting on copies of databases, not because I don't want to be helpful or contribute to the community, but because I simply don't have that kind of free time. I've noted a problem, and can agree that I was doing something rather mindless - i.e., right-clicking and

The "wonkiness on the Mac" was indeed limited to Macs. That doesn't mean that Windows can't also develop wonkiness, but I don't maintain Gtk's Windows backend nor do I know much about how it works so unlike the Mac backend I can't fix it. Your description of the problem doesn't match the macOS

Ah. I reported the version [GnuCash 4.11 Build ID: 4.11+(2022-06-25) using a MariaDB backend], but totally forgot to mention I'm running on Windows 11. Hopefully the "wonkiness" seen on the Mac isn't present in Windows? Or hopefully it's gone on all platforms in 4.13, as you've suggested, which

It is possible that a specific set of prerequisite conditions need to exist for the bug to manifest, but I don't know exactly what I might have been doing immediately before getting the notion that I should just delete the transactions right from the Reconciliation dialog. Normally, I would

I'm sure he read what you wrote and assumed you were running Gnucash 4.12 on MacOS Ventura :-) If not please advise OS and Gnucash version. If that is indeed the case check out https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2022-November/103465.html and

I just performed a trivial test in release 4.8 (Build ID: 4.8a+(2021-09-28) in Lubuntu 22.04 by adding a bogus transaction to a register then saving the file, opening the reconciliation window, right clicking the desired split in the right panel of the reconciliation window, and clicking delete.

I haven't needed to do a reconciliation yet since this thread started, but perhaps in the next few days. In the meantime, I didn't even realize that you could right click split lines in that screen and do things. If that works successfully, wonderful. I have always used the menu to navigate to

I guess you didn't read what I wrote. So, let me say it again (via the magic of copy/paste): "I was right-clicking on a transaction in the right (credit) column. It was already highlighted, and there was no other transaction highlighted. The right-click context menu appeared alongside the mouse

That sounds like a GTK bug. You were raising a context menu on what was selected, not where the mouse pointer was located. If you had a line in the left pane selected, that is what got deleted. Maybe reverting to a backup file and making it your main file would be in order for restoring your

I was reconciling several credit card statements for the same card and had noticed that a subscription payment I had set up as an automatic entry was showing up even though I had canceled the subscription. Clearly, I hadn't discontinued the automatic transaction entry in GnuCash. I ignored
