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 didn't think you deleted it, but wasn't sure what was going on.
I can set an account with a non-zero balance to 'hidden' and it stays
that way, even with subsequent activity. I can set it to hidden with a
zero balance, add another transaction to make it non-zero, and it stays
hidden. I'm not sure why your account is showing up.
Did you by chance set a View filter on your Accounts tab that would
affect this?
I don't under stand the last part.
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.
As it states, 'normally' a dividend transaction doesn't involve the
fund/stock at all. It is a separate transaction between asset & income
accounts. Though David just informed me that there may be times you
might record it there, which I had not thought of.
