Well, I apologize that I may have posted too soon. After more digging, I found Bug 415: http://bugs.ledger-cli.org/show_bug.cgi?id=415
This appears to be the same thing. If anyone can weigh in on whether this behavior is likely to change (bug reported by John in 2010...), I can decide how best to structure all my accounts (as I am a new user, I am still trying to find the best system of accounts / hierarchies). At a minimum, it would be nice if this key fact is mentioned in documentation (section 9.1). Lastly, if this has gotten no attention because literally no one actually uses the periodic transactions + --budget, and instead uses something else like virtual accounts, or automatic postings to envelope-type accounts, please let me know! Thanks again. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ledger" group.
