Just as a point of information, I prefer Basic view because I can get more transactions on my screen that way. When reviewing a previously entered transaction in an account register, I usually click the Split button rather than changing the whole register's view. That's what feels simplest to me,

The 'not related to a bug' is literally that — a change that didn't have a formal bug report as documentation. That doesn't mean it wasn't designed to fix an otherwise 'undocumented' bug, or in the case of the accelerators, to head one off due to other changes outside of GnuCash control. But i

Thanks! But that change is in release notes for 4.9, i.,e. the pre-release 5.x, so that wouldn't be relevant to 4.14, right? And the change is marked as not related to a bugfix. So I'm still confused. Was there a bug in 4.14's handling of accelerator keys in accelerator-map, or wasn't there? I'm

There usually aren't any ground breaking *new* features added each release. The biggest reason to upgrade is bug fixes, the second is performance improvements, and every so often, some new ability or really nice convenience is added. Regards, Adrien On 9/12/23 6:34 PM, George Riner wrote: I'v
