Thanks for the information and background.
While I understand and agree with much of the reasoning in what you're saying,
I think that my major issues with the lots feature are threefold.
First is that sometimes its calculations don't match what the brokerage lists.
Since the brokerage
After installation (in Windows 10), I get when I click the GnuCash icon
on the desktop, in “Program Files (x86)” the following. But it says
“Unsaved Book” – and the screen shows:

I tried to find a “trigger” file to start GnuCash runnig – but I could not.

My recollection is that Lots have always worked this way, even as far
back as GnuCash Version 2.
My opinion is that this not a bug, it is just how Lots work. The price
you pay for using Lots is that Lots rule the capital gains/losses
calculations and will trump (and, as you have found, even

It could be very helpful to learn if this started in a recent release, or

You have set your view preferences to display hidden accounts. View->Filter by

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

Hello,
In the course of catching up with my accounting, I've been working extensively
with mutual fund holdings, and their buys and sells. I have found a disturbing
bug in the way that the lots feature handles existing gains.
Specifically, the software recalculates ALL gains in a lot the

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

I'll assume that your data file is not compressed.
My data file is compressed and just over 5Mb on disk. On startup, Gnucash uses

The Placeholder feature prevents adding transactions to an account, but
IIRC it does not prevent existing transactions from being removed. This
could help for some types of 'refactoring'.

Assuming that your messed up account is a catch-all account from which you hope
to move transactions, I'd actually keep that account visible, and change the
messed up transactions to reflect my current intention--
I apologize if my response seemed testy. It's extremely frustrating to be
working on a large data set with lots of complex transactions ("How exactly
should the capital gains for a stock position with multiple purchase lots and
an intervening split be tracked?"), finally work out how those
