It doesn’t work on this particular register, hence the bug report. If I’m not mistaken, one of the bug comments even mentions this was an oversight when the dialog was updated some time ago. Note, the bug isn’t that the date window is too small by default. The bug is that you can’t save your

Re: General Ledger

Everyone is correct. It’s a matter of perspective. I too was taught ‘General Journal’. The ‘Ledger’ was step 2. But our textbooks, and likely the focus of any accounting class, were primarily for *business* and from the perspective of a larger corporation or what we would distinguish today as
