Weird behaviour with trading accounts?

[Dustin Henning]

I have seen an imbalance account created when I am entering a split
transaction manually.  The behavior isn't consistent, but I have seen the
account be created for the difference between the splits without exiting the
transaction before completing it.

HI, I use trading accounts quite a lot and have several transactions. There
is lots of odd behaviour (reported in bugs) but I haven't come across this
particular issue.
When you say that even if you put the Dining account in directly (without
causing GnuCash to generate an imbalance account), you get the same
behaviour - i.e an imbalance account is still created?
Is it possible that in testing you have been inputting and deleting the same
transaction? As sometimes that can cause odd things from deleted
transactions to be 'remembered'.
If you start with a fresh transaction in the EUR Checking account (make the
Description something unique), and enter the following transaction:
Description 'Restaurant', Transfer 'Expenses:Dining', Decrease 100, [ENTER]
This should bring up the Transfer Funds window. In Exchange Rate, put 1.25
(1 EUR = 1.25000 USD)
Then click OK.
You should then see balances in EUR Checking of -100 EUR and 125 USD in
Expenses:Dining

ALso Trading:Currency:EUR EUR 100
Trading Currency:USD -USD 125

Does that work for you?
