OK, following up, maybe one last time on this ....

Seems like this is a bug. It worked fine before, now it doesn't. Is there a way to submit a bug to the Gnucash team?

I used to have my cash balance in the Brokerage account, but somewhere along the line I found it "cleaner" (?) to use something like the following structure for my various investment accounts (Brokerage, IRAs, 401(k)s)

*Assets*

*Investments*

*Brokerage Account*

*      = Cash Account =   <-- an account of type "Bank"*

*Security Account A  <-- Stock or Mutual Fund
*

*Security Account B  <-- Stock or Mutual Fund*

*etc.

This structure has worked very well for me. I use the "=" characters around the Cash Account name to force this account to be sorted to the top of the list in the sub-accounts. When I changed the structure, I did something like this:

(1) Added the Bank account to hold my cash balance

(2) Moved all the transactions in the top level "Brokerage Account" (or whatever it is called) to this new Bank account.

(3) Changed the top level Brokerage Account to be a Placeholder account (to keep me from habitually entering transactions into it).

It was kind of a pain to move the transactions, but that's what tea and coffee are for, I suppose...
