Hi Parke, For the record on my Fedora 29 system it seems to work fine with gnucash 3.4. Are you able to change any of the other preferences ? If not, there may be a problem with the settings backend (which on linux systems is dconf). Does the trace file [1] show warnings if you try to change this date option ? And lastly you could also try to install a tool called dconf-editor and try to change the option directly in dconf. The path in dconf is /org/gnucash/general The keys that would interest you there are date-completion-sliding (should be set to "On") date-completion-thisyear (should be set to "Off") date-backmonths (should be set to the number of months back you want the sliding window to start) Regards, Geert [1] http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
