I was going to say "No I didn't!" but see below.  Anyway, this never
happened when I was running 1.8, and it started happening the first
time I ran 2.0.

I messed with that a bit, made gnucash crash on startup, and decided
to delete it and make new reports (I didn't have that many and it
seemed easier!).


As far as "re-saving" reports is concerned: in 1.8 I'd sometimes run a
custom report, change the options, and re-save it without changing the
name --- is that what you mean, and is that wrong?  (I wasn't creating
a new report and saving it over the old name.)

In 2.0, what is the safe way to modify a custom report and keep the
newer options?
