Yeah, I understand what you're seeing, no need for a video.

Please supply the following for each of the accounts in the transaction and indicate which accounts are exhibiting the problem:
* Account type (e.g., stock, bank, expense, etc.)
* Commodity/Security/Currency (e.g., currrency EUR, USD, or commodity/security name -- e.g., Boeing, Apple, Gold)
For each currency/commodity/security, what is the "Fraction Traded" from the *security* editor? (Currencies become visible in the security list when you check the box "Show national currencies" at the bottom).

What locale are you using? What OS?
