[GNC] new accounts are omitted from reports

[Adrien Monteleone]

I'm pretty sure this is already filed as a bug or RFE.

GnuCash doesn't auto-add new accounts when you have generic top-level 
accounts selected for a report when using saved configurations.

You have to edit the account selection to include the new accounts then 
update your saved configuration.

However, if just running a fresh report that auto-selects accounts (such 
as the Income Statement) it should include them. (as long as they are 
not marked 'hidden')

Note, if you had a report already in a tab and then added the accounts, 
that isn't a fresh report, you'd need to manually add the accounts and 
refresh it. Or just run a new fresh report.

Regards,
Adrien

Then I created a new placeholder account called Income > Business > Tutoring > foreign revenue, and put my two revenue categories under that. This kind of change has always worked in the past. But all my new accounts are ignored in income statements now. I thought maybe I had too many levels of accounts, so I tried moving the new revenue accounts under the Tutoring category instead. But that still didn't help.
