OK, that's the fontconfig bug. Upgrading to 4.4 will fix it. For a workaround, edit /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/etc/fonts/fonts.conf: - /Library/Fonts - + /System/Library/Fonts/Supplemental + /System/Library/Fonts /Library/Fonts fonts

Sounds like a preference issue. Check Preferences > Numbers, Date & Time > Automatic decimal point, and turn it off if it is checked. (you can also alter the number of decimal places in the very next preference) If you don't have that preference turned on (checked) then something else is at

Caveat, this is *not* accounting advice - if you have any questions, seek the assistance of a local CPA. This is just how I do these transactions based on an Accounting 101 textbook: I think your #2 is similar to my method. I too pay insurance in late December for the following 6 months. (and

I see it is indeed a feature, and not a bug. "gift" and "gifts" both return 30 matches which appears to be the max. I'm certainly fine with it as-is and appreciate the fast results. I know how to get to that account, with a single extra space, and of course, searching on "Recei" brings it

Plus, if I enter a value and tab or shift-tab, it divides it by 100.  If I enter a number, I expect it to tay put unless there is a dialog asking my permission to change it!! -Original Message- From: David G. Pickett To: gnucash-user@gnucash.org Sent: Tue, Jan 5, 2021 10:14 am

I am trying to enter my RMD sales of securities, and when I enter the value, price or shares it gets divided by 100 gratuitously with no dialog, and if I adjust all three numbers and accept a price change, it divides other numbers gratuitously.  This is very counter-intuitive, frustrating,

Hi Adrien, I wrote the new version of the type-ahead. One thing is that it only shows a small number of matches (to make it more responsive). Off the top of my head, I don't remember the exact number, but you could easily find out by just typing a "a" or a very common character and you'll see
