Actually the chart reports did change as well. They are now based on jqplot (a javascript 
libary) instead of gnuplot. So this may have introduced a new issue.
 




That was three months ago, before 2.5.0.

Indeed. But from David's mail I couldn't infer it was a new issue introduced in 2.5.1. I assumed 
2.5.1 was the first version of the 2.5 series he experimented with.

So perhaps David can help us out here: did you experience this problem with 2.5.0 as well ?

And what I'm also curious to know: do you have a large data file ? How many years of 
accounting data is in there ?
