GnuCash 1.8.11


BUGS (mostly related to International Support):
 1. If you create a "Cash on Hand" account in the
Assets column, and then   create three sub-accounts
with different currencies, the Total of "Cash   on
Hand" is equal to the sub-account with the same
Commodity, if any.   The correct value should be equal
to the sum of the sub-accounts,   converted to the
"Cash on Hand" selected Commodity at current exchange
rate; 

  EXAMPLE:
  EUR 5700.00
  GBP 40.00
  USD 28.00
  TOTAL = 5700.00 EUR (error)

  The above error occurs with any similar construction
in any account (Assets, Liabilities, etc.).

2. It is not possible to list "Real Estate" assets in
the Assets column. GnuCash should be extended to
include a "Real Estate" Account Type, which entries
include relevant information, such as "type" (example,
3Bedrooms/2Bathrooms), "down payment" and "cost".

3. Suppose you have the following fictitious financial
statement:

    Income      = EUR 0.00
    Expenses    = EUR 0.00
    Assets      = EUR 8616.10
       Bank Accounts = EUR 2916.10 (wrong)
           account1 = EUR 500
           account2 = GBP 275.38
           account3 = EUR 2416.10
       Cash on Hand  = EUR 5700.00 (wrong)
           account4 = EUR 5700
           account5 = GBP 40
           account6 = USD 28
    Liabilities = EUR 0.00

    The toolbar above the accounts says:

    Net Assets grand total (EUR): EUR 6200.00   
Profits (EUR): EUR 0.00

    There is no need to remark they are "EUR".
    Both the Net Assets total and grand total are
wrong.

    If you click on the arrow, you get the following:

    Net Assets (EUR): EUR 6200.00 .......... (correct)
    Net Assets (GBP): GBP 315.38 ........... (correct)
    Net Assets ($): $ 28.00  ............... (correct;
should display "USD") 
    Net Assets total (EUR): EUR 6200.00 .... (wrong)
    Net Assets grand total (EUR): EUR 6200   (wrong)

  The correct value should be equal to the sum of the
Asset accounts, converted to the selected Commodity
(EUR) at current exchange rate.

  I recommend removing this toolbar information in the
first place; a well-written Report is more useful.

4. The above error 3 occurs in any Report.
