Re: [GNC] Hidden accounts appear in popups
That's always been true, and it's not a bug. As noted in the comments of the bug I cited, "Placeholder" might better be considered and named "Read Only."

Re: [GNC] Hidden accounts appear in popups
I'll mention that you can add both the hidden and the placeholder columns onto your Chart of Accounts window. They appear as check boxes, and you can change their values directly by clicking them in the window. Thus, you can quickly set both these flags from that screen. Note that if your CoA is using the defaults, once you click the hidden check box, your account will disappear. You can address this by setting the filter to show hidden accounts.
