entry/display bug

Hmmm, this gets more confusing. If I change the register display to 'double' from 'auto double', the 'hidden fields' disappear altogether - they are not displayed even if I click on the transaction and make it the current transaction. If change back to 'auto double' the previous behaviour return

I'm currently using 1.3.8 on Mandrake 7.01. I downloaded the RPMS from the gnucash site. I normally display registers in 'auto double'. The problem: When I complete a transaction, e.g., a check, I click on the number field, press '+' and then I continue to the field under the check number and se

Just downloaded the 'new' 1.3.7, installed and booted. First thing I noticed - the "open" icon on the toolbar is gone Now to open an account file, I have to click on 'file' and then 'open' (or use the keyboard - but then I can never remember which keystroke does what). Is this on purpose???
