Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

[G R Hewitt]

Thanks for the suggestions.

*Did you happen to re-type it in the same session? *
No. I delete to blank - triple click, delete. Left-click-hold-drag-delete
(just in case I missed anything)

*Maybe change it to just 'foo' or something. *
I have already tried umpteen combinations. After each iteration I close and
restart the program, just in case of memory issue.

I may use DB Browser and examine the raw data to see if there remains
anything.

It maybe that there is a problem with the autofill, I don't know - I'm just
glad it has stopped freezing.

Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

[Adrien Monteleone]

I use SQLite also and have used it to examine a few things in my GnuCash 
file, but not comparing transactions.


Interesting on the copy-paste issue.

Did you happen to re-type it in the same session?

Maybe change it to just 'foo' or something.

Exit.

Reopen.

Retype the description.

If you were in the same session, I'd say there is a non-zero chance 
GnuCash remembered what was there and dutifully inserted any 
non-printable characters that were unknowingly pasted in originally.

Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

[Adrien Monteleone]

I just tested a transaction with your exact 'Car Annual Test' 
description and it worked fine. And yes, I exited and restarted GnuCash 
just to be sure. I'm on Monterey 12.6.7 with a Late 2014 Mini, however.


I'm curious, maybe there is something wrong with just the transaction 
itself? (since you've found 'test' isn't really the issue)


Maybe try this:

1. add 'foo' as you just noted so that original transaction doesn't freeze.

2. create a new transaction with the same details with "Car Annual Test" 
as the description.


3. Observe freezing or not.

If not, then it is that one transaction.

If using the XML backend, maybe open it and do a search for the 
transaction and compare the guts of it against the second one you created.


If it still freezes, try "Car Test Annual" - moving the position of 
'test' up, and see what happens. (the 'foo' should have done it, but...)


Oh, and one question: is this just a normal manually entered 
transaction, or was it generated by the Business Features?

I just did the same on MacOS Monterey. (The OP is on Sierra)

There was a Windows related freeze in 5.1 that was fixed in 5.2.

[Adrien Monteleone]

If so, it is inconsistent. Check a few messages above. G R 'tested' this 
out with several other descriptions containing the word 'test' and 
everything worked fine. It is just this one description freezing up as 
far as I'm aware.

Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

[john]

So if you create new entries with the word "test" it doesn't freeze but if you 
put "test" back into the "Car Annual Test" transaction it freezes?

What happens if you create a new transaction with "Car Annual Test" for a 
description? My thought was that the position of "test" in that string might 
have something to do with it, so what about "Car Annual Test Foo", both in the 
original and in a new transaction?

John Ralls

Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

[G R Hewitt]

I'm not so sure.
Your reply prompted me to put it to the test, no pun intended.
So I went back to the original entry and typed 'test' at the end of the
description text.
Lo and behold, the program froze on inputting 'tes' and also when deleting
it the last 's' of the original entry.
The truth is out there ...

Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

[Adrien Monteleone]

John might laugh at me or be annoyed at my 'noise' but considering the 
details, and without even looking at the code, which is likely more 
noise and annoying, I had the initial suspicion that there is a loop 
problem and 't-e-s-t' is a problem because the 't' is repeated, causing 
an infinite loop, and thus lock up. Proof of that suspicion would be to 
test (ha!) another string where the initial character is repeated at 
least immediately after the offered search characters, but that mileage 
may vary. As I said, I haven't looked at the code, and I could be truly 
a fool for even thinking it.


I don't have time today, maybe tomorrow, but if the solution isn't 
found, I'll give it a go to test such a condition at least just for my 
own curiosity.

Very strange that it is just (so far) 'Tes' or 'tes', especially if you use

I didn't understand the code, I just copied and pasted it.

from the online account.
I blitzed the description text in all occurrences and typed it in to make

Very strange that it is just (so far) 'Tes' or 'tes', especially if you use

Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

[john]

Tesco is left out of the search by the `[^c]` term in the regular expression: 
It allows any character except c after "tes".

The bit about Test is interesting. I was expecting the problem to be something 
other than a normal character; the implication is that it has something to do 
with the last character in the string. I'll experiment with that a bit.

Regards,
John Ralls

Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

[G R Hewitt]

With regards to my previous answer, I decided to delete the word 'Test'
from 'Car Annual Test' and replaced it with 'NCT'. I could, in the first
instance, only backspace delete the 's' of 'Test' as it froze.
Then I entered the word 'Tesco' in the'Bank' register description and it
went in just fine.
I then replaced 'NCT' with 'Test' and the problem returned.
I have left it as 'NCT'.

--

Okay John, done that.

Search = [[:<:]]tes[^c]

Returns two entries and the description for both is 'Car Annual Test' -
which gives the 'Tes' in question.
Oddly there are no 'Tesco' transactions - ought there to be, I should have
thought so?
The entries are:
Bank > Prepayments
Prepayments > Car

Search = [[:<:]]tes[^a-z] Returns nothing.

Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

[john]

We need to move this back to the list, your results are of general interest and 
I don't think that they reveal anything private.

The matcher only tries to match on the beginning of words, so whatever is 
causing the problem starts with `tes` and `ates` won't match it.

Let's try to find it: Open the find dialog (Edit>Find or cmd-F) in the 
register. Select "matches regex" from the list button after "Description" and 
enter "[[:<:]]tes[^c]" (no quotes) and click Find. That will present a list of 
transactions with descriptions having words starting with tes that aren't 
tesco. If it's too many to look through try "[[:<:]]tes[^a-z]"; that will show 
only entries where tes is followed by something that isn't a letter.

John Ralls

Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

[john]

Following up on that, since you're on macOS there's a diagnostic option that's 
not readily available on other platforms:
1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Activity Monitor. Find GnuCash in the process 
list and select it.
2. Type a character in the description field of  a new transaction to make 
GnuCash Freeze.
3. Back in Activity Monitor, click the gear icon and select "Sample Process" 
from the resulting menu. 
4. Attach the resulting file to a reply.

Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

[Adrien Monteleone]

Make sure your time zone and clock are correct on your system. Though if 
they weren't, I'd think more than one site wouldn't resolve correctly.


If they are far off, you can get resolution errors like what you've seen.

Adrien

Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

[AgedLace]

My manjaro doesn't have traceroute.

I tried 'ping' ... it did one line then stalled.  So, the problem must 
be on my end ... i just have no way to know what / how and you guys have 
far more important things to do then to help me troubleshoot my computer.


THANK YOU for trying!!!

It might feel the same but it's very much not the same. The quickfill is quite

That didn't work for me either.  I have no idea what it could be.  And 
I'm not able to spend any more time on it right now.


Thank you all for your input and suggestions and help!!!

I've tried Firefox, Brave and Chromium browsers ... all other sites are 
working fine, just the wiki.gnucash.org site refusing connection.


Question? Does one need to login to the wiki?

Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

[G R Hewitt]

I don't know if it unfreezes in those few seconds, I just click in the line
above after a few seconds - it may be the clicking in the line above that
unfreezes it.
Next time it freezes I will try it with out waiting to see.

Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

This is my experience as well.  Previous versions didn't have this issue.

Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

[Adrien Monteleone]

Sorry, indeed, I missed that.

Consider stepping back to 4.14 in that case.

But also consider filing a bug report for sure so it can be addressed.

Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

[AgedLace]

My issue is that, yes, I can retreat and go back, but it still freezes 
after adding 1 character.  I have to retreat and go back for nearly ever 
single character in my description ... REALLY annoying!!

There's something a bit odd about how GnuCash handles text entry in
all fields.  I think it's due to the way it auto-fills the field when
you enter just one or two characters.

On my system most of the issues occur with the Transfer column, it
sometimes locks up in the same way that you're describing for the
Description field.


I have the same problem, but so far, only when entering 'tes' for 'Tesco',
when it just freezes.
I wait a few seconds then click in the line above, then back to the
original and it
works.


Yes, that's a good description of what happens.  One can usually
'retreat' and try again and make it work but it's still rather
annoying.
