Hi David, let me try to explain, but Ralf may correct me: An new account property "Opening Balance" was introduced to avoid some other problems. And each book needs (at least) one account with the property set. While you created the account, the program could not find such an account and created

Apparently the feature to filter accounts described by Robin is something that I do not see in release 3.8. Is that described somewhere in the Help manual? On Thu, Apr 8, 2021 at 1:42 PM Robin Chattopadhyay wrote: > This happens to me under Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as well (Under several Gnucash > vers

This happens to me under Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as well (Under several Gnucash versions up to 4.4, it started around the time the feature to filter accounts was introduced instead of the previous way of starting at the top of the tree). I have worked around this by clicking the drop-down arrow in the Tr

Hi, GnuCash 4.4 under Windows 10. Long time user. Recent releases have included an update to the Autofill feature, which generally is a good thing. However, others have reported strange hitches using the new feature under Windows--situations where the register hangs and the application appear
