I wouldn't be in favor of a blinking tab. And if it were implemented, I'd for sure want to turn it off. But there might be some other effective method. Other than what was described in the bug report about directing you back to the uncommitted transaction explicitly, I can't see a path to

I had sql once but you moved me to xml.  Is there an easy way to go back to SQL? sql saves uncommitted transactions? It seems simple enough to have attributes in XML to hold the uncommitted information beside the original information, so you can always save the entire state of the

I could be mistaken, but I don't think uncommitted transactions are written using the SQL backends. An edit perhaps, but not a new transaction. Note, the OP is referencing a crash, or leaving GnuCash open, forgetting about a pending edit to be committed, and restarting the computer. I think

One problem with gnucash is inadvertently uncommitted modified transactions.  It's be nice if the tab lit up if that account included such, so I can commit it before wandering off.  If the system is rebooted or gnucash is killed for batch stock price updates, these modifications are lost, even
