So far there has been no useful information presented in this thread, at least that I can find now that I am looking at it with Gmail on my laptop . While I am not a developer, I have been working closely with them on a couple of possibly related problems. Clearly there is a problem which needs to be documented in a fresh bug report.
It appears that Eric Coats' problem as he originally presented it relates mostly to changes that GnuCash made in some releases in the 3.x and 4.x series in the behavior of the logic surrounding the process of balancing the exchange rates applied when transactions are created with multiple currencies and/or securities. There is a lot of interaction that may or may not be consistently applied if the transaction creation is done manually, by cloning a previous transaction or by the Since Last Run assistant, and possibly other nuances as well. This was complicated by a clarification of the actual action that happens when the "Nearest in Time" method is selected vs when the new "Nearest Before" method is selected as described in https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=743753. Release 4.6 also contained a fix<https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797928> that was supposed to resolve problems with the Since Last Run assistant that may have impacted this in an unforeseen way. It may be necessary for Eric to provide a very detailed description of which version of GnuCash he is actually using including whether if is a flatpak version or user compiled, then keystroke-by-keystroke to get the inconsistent result. Then, if it is possible to resolve them as a work-around for the current release by adjusting exchange rates, for example, we should get a handle on the problem. The share/price/value relationship is a separate issue which is a little awkward but not known to be broken and probably does not apply to Eric's problem. -- David Carlson _______________________________________________ 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.
