You have set your view preferences to display hidden accounts. View->Filter by 
{Other  tab} Show hidden accounts

To hide an account in the drop down list, set the account to Placeholder.

I don't think anyone can talk to 2.6.19 -- that code is like a decade old!

Hidden is supposed to hide the account from the Chart of Accounts. 
However it will still be available in the drop-down for transactions. 
Placeholder accounts will be removed from the drop-down, but still visible
in the CoA.

> Is there some preference I need to set to make "Hidden" mean hidden?

If you want to remove the account from the CoA *AND* the drop-down, you
need to mark it both Hidden and Placeholder.

[GNC] Hidden accounts still visible

That seems logical, but it doesn't work that way for me in 2.6.19. I
just checked, and all my hidden accounts still show in the Accounts
panel. They also show up if I click the drop-down arrow in a register
while entering a new transaction.

Is there some preference I need to set to make "Hidden" mean hidden?
