I have now upgraded to g-wrap 1.1.11, but I still see: > I have found a problem with the data entry into the debit/credit fields > of the register.

The two times I encountered this today (two seperate transactions) did not involve a subtraction operation. Both were, however, long strings of simple additions. Is it possible that we're getting a buffer overflow perhaps? Dave_p, if you're reading this, or perhaps hampton since I know you've looked at some of this code, what possible external dependancies relate to this code that might explain why I get the problem, but other people don't? Note that it does appear to be intermittant - I do this sort of thing on a regular basis, and it does not happen every time (though it is far too frequent for me to just shrug about it).
