1. My so-called discrepancy was an optical illusion, What I read as 0.982352 shares was really 0 shares of (valora number) 982352. ;-}

2. I found the file check in the "Actions" menu, under "Check & Repair". ;-}

Boy, do I feel stupid!

ISTR that GC has a built-in file integrity checker, but I can no longer find out how to invoke it.

Perhaps the peculiarity mentioned below is caused by some inconsistency in the file.

Can someone please refresh my memory on how to perform a file integrity check?

I am still running GC 2.6.19 under Ubuntu Studio 18.04, but plan to update to Ubuntu Studio 20.04 soon and will then get a newer version of GC.

Meanwhile, I have a problem which I find very hard to understand:
I purchased 600 shares of a stock last year and sold them again this year.

When I open the ledger of the stock account, it displays the balance correctly as 0.

However, in the Accounts list, the stock account still shows a balance of 0.982352 shares

What could account for this discrepancy?

How likely is it that a newer version of GC will correct this misrepresentation?

Is there some way of troubleshooting it, or should I just hide the (now empty) account and forget about it?

Thanks for any advice!
