Old bug still exists...

Hello, thank you for your mailing list.

I have this problem and googling shows only this thread addressing
it, so it must be rather anomalous... :-(

I am on SuSE 11.1 (the latest) Linux with all the relevant
repositories I can find. I've also downloaded and installed GnuCash
manually, so am now on GnuCash 2.2.7, build from R17597M on
2008-12-03, well past the revisions cited below.

But the bug is still there.

I can see no precise pattern for its occurrence, nor can I
deliberately replicate it. But it occurs frequently, if randomly.

What happens is that I am entering a number of transactions. After a
varying number of entries (one the first time today, eight the next
time) and a varying amount of time suddenly the automatic recall of
a common entry (e.g., Grocery Store > Living:Food..." does not pop
up the account. If I try to leave the transaction (arrow up) I get
the message.

Similarly, trying to save the transaction renders the same message.

It does not crash and I can then save the account, but I have to
close the account and reopen the account. Then it goes on and works
for a while, until they cycle repeats.

Am I missing something?

Thanks in advance,

Andy Lavarre

I'm glad to report that this solves the bug, as far as what I had
encountered.
