Interesting. I’m noticing this too on 2.6.18 on El Capitan. I rarely use the General Ledger, so I can’t say if it provided more history in the past or not. Personally, I enter everything directly in accounts anyway (save for business features) and can always see the full history for that

[GNC] Customer & Vendor Reports No Longer Showing Payments

Just wondering if anyone else is seeing this? Since the update to 3.x, when using sqlite3 backend, those reports only show invoices/bills and no payments. The XML backend works fine. I’m not sure if this is an issue with the report(s) or with the sqlite3 code. Details here:

Did you make a backup of your file before the upgrade and do you still have it available? I’d test with opening and saving it with 3.1. If it saves in a reasonable time, then there might be an issue with the data entered since the upgrade. If it’s still slow, then for sure, your copy of 3.1

Rufus, I don’t see why a check number on a deposit line doesn’t seem proper if in fact, you are depositing a check. In this case, it happens to be a check you wrote, but it IS from another account, so from the perspective of the receiving account, it’s no different than the case where someone

You can tailor the colors and fonts to your liking using a custom CSS file. I’m not sure what you mean by ‘layout’ but the new Gtk+3 version does have more padding in many areas. I don’t think this is easily changeable, but it might be possible. I’m not sure what is causing your flickering

Dennis, As dpkg tells you, only the config files are on the system. Those are not removed by a ‘remove’ command, you need to purge as the command response advises. Try ONE of the following: (as far as I’m aware, these three produce identical results in this case) sudo apt purge gnucash sudo
