Setting aside the tone of Adrien's comments, I think that filing a bug report against the Wayland project would be seriously misplaced. They're just publishing a spec and a model implementaiton. The actual implementation for Gnome is https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter. KDE has a different

A negative asset is effectively a liability. It is part of a concept called 'contra' accounts. You can have contra-liability accounts too, that are effectively assets. Asset - normally a Debit balance - amount you own. Contra-Asset - Credit balance - amount you owe someone else. (liability)

Hi, one way I know works, but is a bit ugly, is to create your prepayment account as a negative current asset. I do something similar as some members of a club incur expenses on its behalf, which goes to their current account as a negative asset, and I then use this to clear off invoices in their

For the simple reason they'll be annoyed and try to ignore the bug report, I'd file it. You never know who else has the same problem with various apps. Heck, I'd bet the bug is already filed, maybe even closed as 'won't fix'. That's even better. File another and make them spend their time

Well, it is definitely a Wayland vs X11 issue. When I switched from Wayland to X11, the problem just magically went away. If I thought I stood a chance of being listened to there, I would file a bug report against Wayland - but I suspect it wouldn't get much traction. Anyway, thanks, all,

Yes, I was thinking about that as well. Ubuntu 20.04 shipped with X11 as default, and 22.04 ships with Wayland as default. Maybe I will try changing that and see what happens. I always felt more comfortable with X11, but figured I would at least try Wayland, since they were making it the default

If you need, you can split the expenditure between the Asset (affecting the basis) and the Expense accounts. The purpose of accounting is INFORMATION. That is what my "PS" was all about. Thinking that you have to split the expenditure is an illusion. You might want/need all of part of

Hi David, Everything I can find says that Gnome (the desktop environment set up by default in Ubuntu 22.04 - which was also the desktop environment used in 20.04, which worked as expected) does not save window placement information. Instead, it is the responsibility of the application. Gnome will
