Stock spinoff

[Paul Schwartz]

I went back and looked at it again, and it turns out that the Balance Sheet is adding the number to the basis of the original stock instead of subtracting it. I had filed a bug report on this previously, and I thought it had been fixed.

Guess not. Has it been fixed in the latest release?

I know I'm using an old version fo Gnucash [2.2.4 which is what Ubuntu supplies for release 8.04], but I'ld like to know if the following is fixed in the latest release.



I have a stock account with a certain number of shares and a value [basis].  The stock spins off some shares of another company without changing the number of shares in the original company. The account register for the original company shows that value is decreased [Sell] by the value of the new shares, but the balance sheet does not reflect this new reduced basis [clearly a bug].


I can't think of any bug report (or bug fix) that mentions this situation. Could you show your transaction so we can see the splits? (Or make up a similar example.)

Cheers,Charles



Thanks for help.



Paul
