Yeah, I actually don't care about the account existing; it's easy enough to correct the problems, which, quite frankly, are more trouble to avoid than fix. So, I'm happy just to let it be there, which cuts down on my having to alter my CoA.
And as I have noted time and time and time again in this thread, my quibble is with the change in GnuCash behavior with version 4.5. No one has explained why this change has occurred, let alone explain to me what I might do, short of downgrading and staying forevermore on 4.4, to get this fixed.
