Description John Haiducek 2014-10-26 03:48:18 UTC
Description of problem: None of the bar charts display correctly.. Stacked bar charts display with gaps; others overlap.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 2.6.4-1


How reproducible: If you have already been using gnucash, just open it and see all your bar charts messed up. Otherwise, create some accounts and create some sort of bar chart from the Reports menu. None of them display correctly.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Gnucash
2. Create some accounts/transactions
3. Create a report containing a bar chart

Actual results: Bar chart displays inconsistently with overlapping and incorrectly placed bars.


Expected results: Bar chart should display the same way it did in the previous version.

Comment 1 Per Nystrom 2014-11-03 01:42:06 UTC
I would like to add to this a longstanding complaint I have about older packages disappearing when the new one is added to updates.  I now have only two choices:

1) Deal with this until a fix is released.
2) Downgrade to gnucash-2.4.13-5, which is about a year old now!

I would much rather downgrade to gnucash-2.6.3-1, which was working fine for me, but it is NOWHERE TO BE FOUND IN ANY MIRROR, not even the source RPM!

Comment 2 Bill Nottingham 2014-11-03 19:32:11 UTC
You can pull older versions as necessary from:
  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=392

E.g., if you click through the appropriate links there, eventually you get to: 
  http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=6704506

Clicking on the buildArch task for the appropriate arch will get you a page where you can download the RPM.

Alternatively, if you know the exact version of the RPM you want that was previously released, you can install the 'koji' build system client package, and do:

[notting@nostromo: ~]$ koji download-build --arch x86_64 gnucash-2.6.3-1.fc20

(With respect to the actual bug, have not had a chance to dig deeply into it yet, hopefully soon.)

Comment 5 John Haiducek 2014-11-04 02:35:51 UTC
Downgrading to 2.6.3 did not fix the bug. Apparently the bug is in a library and not in gnucash itself.

Comment 6 John Haiducek 2014-11-04 03:12:11 UTC
On the other hand, after some googling I found a report from someone else who was able to fix this by downgrading to 2.6.3-1 (don't know what OS or distro it was on). Why it doesn't work for me I have no idea.

Comment 7 Per Nystrom 2014-11-04 05:39:40 UTC
@Bill Nottingham - Thanks for the tip, I will try that next time I need to downgrade a package.  I was able to extract it from another F20 system that had not yet been updated using rpmrebuild.

Downgrading by itself doesn't fix it because your compiled report formatting is cached in your home directory.  The first time you run it in a virgin user account (using command line, not desktop launcher) you'll see messages in the terminal window as it compiles all the guile stuff.

Before it would work correctly in my regular user account, I had to go to $HOME/.cache/guile/ccache/2.0-LE-8-2.0/usr/share and remove the gnucash subdirectory.  Once that was done and I started gnucash, it recompiled the reports and everything looked good again.

Comment 8 Bill Nottingham 2014-11-04 15:21:32 UTC
... I'd be curious if deleting your guile cache on *2.6.4* fixes it.

Comment 9 Per Nystrom 2014-11-04 15:42:56 UTC
As a test, I deleted the cache, upgraded back to 2.6.4-1, and ran a report.  The formatting was still messed up, just as before.

Comment 10 Bill Nottingham 2014-11-04 20:14:33 UTC
OK, thanks - we've had other reports of weirdness due to it using stale cached guile compiles.

Comment 11 Richard 2014-11-16 04:33:53 UTC
I also have this problem.  Changed from Windows7 32bit computer using 2.4.11(r22268 on 2012-07-15) to windows8.1 64bit using 2.4.1 (This copy was built from git rev 79bdcf1+ on 2014-10-11).
Now cannot use bar graphs.
Will my old copy work on my new 64bit computer?
Otherwise this is a fantastic piece of software. Thanks.

Comment 12 Richard 2014-11-16 04:37:04 UTC
Mistake:
The version I'm using with the graph problem is  2.6.4 This copy was built from git rev 79bdcf1+ on 2014-10-11

Comment 13 Bill Nottingham 2015-01-09 02:13:52 UTC
Sorry about the delay. This *should* be fixed in 2.6.5, which I'm preparing for this week.
