From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.13 i686) Description of problem: The rebalance transaction window pops up and zeros out the current transaction. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.using a previous verions of gnucash with checking and savings accounts 2. upgrade the system to RH 7.2 3.open up a bank account and add a tranaction. 4.click somewhere else on the window 5. a popup window "Adjust current account split total" is the selected option 6. select this and watch it zero out the transaction 7.the only way around this is to kil the popup window, however this will set the cursor back to the place where it was and if you click it somewhere else then it will popup the window again Additional info:
1. start gnucash 2. select new file 3. on the window that pops up click next 4. then next again 5. select NOTHING and click next 6. again do nothing but select next 7 . click finish you should have no account. now 8. create a simple bank account by clicking on account - > new account 9. give it a name like foo 10 . click ok now 11. double click on foo and add 100 dollars deposit 12. hit enter rebalance transaction window pops up if you select "Adjust current account split total" then it zeros the account if you select "Let GNUCash add an adjusting split" then it creates an imbalance account if you select "Balance it manually" then it puts you back in the same spot you were in in the same transaction why do I need to balance a bank account like it was a general ledger? in previous versions of gnucash one could do this without the rebalance transaction window poping up this is an annoyance, one should not have to account for every dollar they debit or credit in a check book. the window does nothing if you kill the windo there should be either no tracking of this or a default HIDDEN background account that handles this, without user interaction. At least ther ehsoudl be an option to turn this on or off
