This dialogue has changed in gnucash 2.0.1 (current Debian version is 2.0.1-2). When editing an existing account, the dialogue offers "New top-level account" as the highest placed parent. The dialogue layout has also changed. In a real sense, setting an existing account as a top level account IS making a new top level account. If before there were five top level accounts (say Income, Expense, Assets, Liability and Equity) this change (on say Expense|Motor|Fuel) would make Fuel a sixth top level account. Top-level accounts are important items in your overall finances. It is important that users think carefully about such things. I think the current behaviour is about right because it makes the user think about what is being requested. Please could you test in the latest version of gnucash (as above) and report back to this bug report?
