gnucash currently unusable with DEM+EUR currencies!

[Christian Hammers]

Hello

My bug reports to bugs.gnome.org bounced so I try it this way.
Currently i.e. 1.5.5, 1.5.6 and CVS are all unusable for my (german
localized) linux (Debian unstable distribution) due to bugs in the 
transaction code.

E.g. CVS:

I try to transfer DEM 1,234.56 via meta account that is in currency DM and
with "share" EUR to a EUR bank account.

I enter: 123456 it makes 1234 + 14/25. Hmm ok I think. Select the field again
with the mouse and then click one field below and suddenly it changes again
to 12,90 (US notation: 12.90). Hey...
But ok, then I will just transfer 12.90 don't have much money anyways.
I click on the target account and it automatically selcts my transfer 
meta-account and knows about the 1.95582 factor for DEM<->EUR. Well done.

I click on the xchg rate and somewhere else and it calculates: 6,60 (US: 6.60)
good again.

Now: My income has DEM 12.90 added (ok) but the meta-exchange-account has
the following transaction booked:
		shares	price 	  buy 	sell
		0.66	19.5455  12.90
	       -0.66	19.5455		12.90
Strange. The target account has then only EUR 0.66 added :-(

Further I didn't come as after clicking the target account gnucash went
away saying the last words:
Gdk-ERROR **: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  serial 141108 error_code 2 request_code 12 minor_code 0


This was CVS. The other version do not differ very much. 

Please, please fix it, it's since Chrismas that I check every two weeks if
gnucash is stable enough to use it for my home finances...

bye & thanks,
