Thanks - it's now looking consistent in 5.13. For example, I have 2 different
bank service charge expense accounts - one for AUD amounts and one for CAD
amounts.
If I try to charge a CAD amount direct to the AUD account (eg as part of an
international transfer) it prompts for the currency conversion but then
crashes when I confirm the amount. If I charge the CAD amount only to a CAD
Expense account - no issue.
So I did that, then tried to just transfer the total of the CAD Expense account
("rebate" the expense) to transfer it over to the AUD Expense account - same
behaviour (correctly prompts for currency conversion amount, but then crashes
on confirmation).
So the Expense accounts don't seem to properly support currency conversion
(even though they do prompt to enter the amount in the target currency - the
crash happens after confirmation of either the conversion amount or exchange
rate).
I believe this is a 5.13 issue ... I reverted back to 5.12 (still Windows 11)
and the currency conversion between Expense accounts is correctly handled as
expected.
Regards,
Bill

GnuCash shouldn’t crash even if you do something wrong, never mind that there’s
nothing wrong with crediting an Asset account.
