Thanks all, strange indeed. I don't recall it happening before. The salary amount varies by 1€centime each month, pity it is not more....:-( so I need to change the last digit each month. Maybe I used the 'comma' procedure previously? Actually the crash happened before I tried to commit, it happened when I tried to backspace.

Roll on next build, and while I am here, enormous thanks to all the development team.

Seems that the comma separator is the culprit here if it is left in when
committing the altered amount. In addition I find that if I use the
backspace key to try to alter a number before committing, GnuCash shuts
down immediately, however using the backspace to delete the comma separator
works fine.
Bit more digging to do.

Tony -- just curious -- this seems very similar to the thousand separator
issue of entries over $1,000 when you include the thousands separator
(comma).  If you enter an entry that includes the comma and go to change
the
entry, it seems GNUCASH crashes -- but not entering the comma the issue
does
not happen.  Would be interested if your behavior is happening on items
that
are less than $1,000 (i.e., or do not include the separator).

There is a reported issue with the separator issue that I think is already
addressed for the next build.

Yes, same problem here on Windows 10 Home with Gnucash 4.2.
I used to just copy and paste a previous entry, alter the amount as
required, and then commit. However this now causes CNC to completely shut
down, but I find if I commit the wrong amount and then alter it, things are
fine.

Sorry, I think I posted this already in the wrong address.

Hi,

Just now I was making an entry in an account I use regularly, one of
my
bank accounts. and was entering a salary cheque which required an
alteration of one figure.
It worked fine, date, description, etc., until I tried to change the
digit on the figure. It put the cursor behind the digit but when I
tried to change it the blue circle appeared and gnucash closed,
completely.
I relaunched, having to do 'open anyway' at the lock question, and
opened the account, which was closed. The entry I was trying to make
was not there, although the previous entry was. I tried to enter the
salary entry, tried to change the digit and the same thing happened ,
blue circle, closed.
Any ideas?
It's probably https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797959.

Regards,
John Ralls
