Re: GnuCash 2.6.7 question
Continuing on that line of thought, it should be possible to use the tool called General Ledger or General Journal depending on which version you are using to find the missing transaction. You will probably need to open View > Filter By > Date to extend the starting date of the view back to around late Feb 2017. If the transaction was saved to the book you should find it there.

Re: GnuCash 2.6.7 question
Hello, Liking at the screen shot, I can see that you are able to view other transactions from that time frame (so it's not that the transaction date is causing it to disappear). The one thing we can't tell room the screen shot is whether any of the splits in your transaction are actually assigned to the current checking account. If none of your splits are assigned to the checking account, then the transaction will disappear from this register the moment you press enter, since there is nothing in the transaction to bind it to this one.

RE: GnuCash 2.6.7 question
Colin, I've attached a screen shot. Everything is fine through the transaction dated 2/25/2017 that I entered a year ago. Today I wanted to pick up with the first transaction of the new fiscal year which was a cash payment of $1,550 dated 3/3/2017 that was split between $1,500 for salary and $50 for expenses. I believe the way it's shown on the screen is the way it should look. The problem is, if I hit Enter (either by hitting the key or clicking on the menu), the transaction is no longer there - or anywhere else on the whole ledger - but if I start to input it again, it all comes back, properly split.
