No I didn't delete the account?
Why would I do silly thing like that and lose all that history?
The account is hidden because it's balance is 0.
Reappearing means exactly what it says.
I was no longer in the account tree, i.e. list, because after the sale
it's balance became 0. No matter how I record that late dividend the
balance becomes non 0 and the account reappears in the account tree or list.
I don't under stand the last part.

Otherwise, and unless you marked it 'hidden' it will always be there.
Having activity in it doesn't change that. But you wouldn't have
activity in it anyway from a dividend.
What *exactly* do you mean by 'reappearing in my account list' and by
'screwing everything else up'?
A Dividend receipt would normally be between some asset account
('bank' or a brokerage cash account if direct deposit, 'undeposited
funds' if by paper check) according to how you received the money, and
an Income/Revenue account, say 'Dividends Received'. The FundXYZ
account shouldn't be touched at all.

Last month I sold a mutual fund say XYZ.
Several weeks after the sale closed and the calendar date went into
the next quarter I received a dividend from XYZ.
How do I enter that dividend transaction for XYZ without having it
reappearing in my account list and screwing everything else up?
