[GNC] Nothing Wrong
I want you maintainers and developers to know that I run GnuCash just fine and don't have problems. I very much appreciate such a great free product. Thanks. I kinda wanted to make this an annual thing but I have not been consistent about this and for that I apologize. Also this is not response to any one or more of the problem reports. Just a note of thanks. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

Price Editor
I know that the stock quotes feature is having issues, so I decided that since I don't have so many and I don't need any more than Friday's prices, to try to enter stock/fund prices manually. This doesn't seem to work either; well, it has issues. Let me explain. I start up gnucash and then using the pulldown, bring up the Price Editor window. The first oddity comes when I hit the Add button; the following is displayed on the terminal window I used to start up gnucash: sys:1: GtkWarning: gtk_list_store_get_path: assertion 'iter->stamp == GTK_LIST_STORE (tree_model)->stamp' failed Nothing "bad" happens other than this warning line, so I continue. In the Price Editor window, I modify the various items to point to a fund that I want to update and do so. When I use the Apply button, the changes are taken. If I then hit the Cancel, I can escape without crashing. This is not the case, if I hit the Apply button. A few seconds go by and then I get a segfault and the program exits. Curiously, the program crashes the same way if I try to edit or re-enter a price for a date already entered (although if I Remove it first, it works). Anyway, as long as I continue to enter a price, hit Apply, and then Cancel. I can make this work. The gnucash app sent some debug and crash info off to Ubuntu after one crash. I am running Xubuntu 16.06 and Gnucash 2.6.12 ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user - Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.

It's still a workaround; just different than that I described. I'm fine with workarounds, but they're just that, workarounds as opposed to operations that behave well. > I have not had any of the problems you describe. Did you try them? I didn't have these problems either (or didn't know I had them) until I tried to manually set stock/fund prices. Perhaps it's version specific.

Re: Price Editor
Helpfully, the Bugzilla system threw up the following when I was setting up to create a new bug. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766028 It's not only been seen, but also fixed. Just need to wait for a newer version. Thanks again, John On Sun, Nov 5, 2017 at 6:37 AM, Jim Muchow wrote: > Thanks for the info, John.
