One bite of the apple at a time on the toolbar?

[Graham Stoddart-Stones]

Steve: 


One possibility: GnuCash is very sensitive to closing each transaction, and this can be magnified in Splits. I have often found when a toolbar does not work that pressing a Return does the trick, as the system is waiting for a confirmation that one's entry in the current line is complete. 


Apologies if this is old hat, and has nothing to do with your situation - but if it helps...................!

Subject: One bite of the apple at a time on the toolbar? 

This is a small annoyance, but hoping someone can point me in the right 
direction. I only experience this when I use GnuCash. I experience it 
throughout GnuCash whenever I use the toolbar at the top of the screen, but 
here's one simple example. btw, I'm running GnuCash on Windows 7, both 32 
and 64... 

So I have a checking account open with all transactions displayed. 

1. I highlight a transaction, any transaction 
2. I click on the "Split" button that is on the toolbar at the top of the 
screen 
3. The transaction opens the split 
4. I then want to close the split, so I go to the toolbar and click on 
"Split" again 
5. This time nothing happens. Indeed at this point if I click on ANY of the 
buttons on the toolbar, nothing happens. 
6. If I click somewhere OUTSIDE of Gnucash (anywhere, in another program, on 
my desktop, etc.) and THEN go back to Gnucash (without it being closed), and 
click on any of the buttons, they work again...but just once (until I click 
outside of Gnucash, etc 
7. Note: Unlike the buttons on the Toolbar, eg Save, Close, Duplicate, 
Delete, etc., if I click on the menu at the very very top of GnuCash, eg 
File, View, Transactions, Actions, and click on any of the options under any 
of those headings, they DO always work, repetitively. 

Does anyone know why my mouse seems to lose its focus on the toolbar buttons 
after clicking on them once? eg I get one "bite" on these buttons, and 
they're not active again until I click outside of Gnucash and return. 

Thanks!
