Re: [GNC] Edit problem
Yeah, FYI the balancing code deletes the trading splits and recreates them because getting a transaction with trading splits to balance incrementally is way too hard. You don't need to delete the transaction and start over (though that certainly works), you can just delete the trading splits and fix up the other splits. Tweak everything so that there aren't any little gray squares. Make sure to use the amount entry in the exchange rate section of the transfer dialog and let GnuCash calculate the price: Doing it the other way just gets you into rounding hell.

I would create a special account (probably under assets but there are alternative choices0 with a name like "conversion rounding errors". When there was a "parts not all adding up" situation like this, I would enter a debit or credit (whichever needed) to this account to absorb the bit that was not adding up. If these "errors" were on both sides the account balance probably would never become significant. If the "errors" tended to be one-sided I'd probably every so often have an adjustment. Why do you expect that books involving multiple currencies will be "exact"? Over time? (exchange rates are not constants).In real life conversions between currencies you aren't even always getting the official rate.

Re: [GNC] Edit problem
Can you force the USD Trading split to be 53.49? I seem to recall a bug related to this a few months ago. I thought it was resolved, but you might have to delete and re-enter the transaction.
