gnucash-user Digest, Vol 136, Issue 10

Based on David's response below, where he is using the same version and same OS as I am, something is definitely wrong with my Gnucash, as it will not save a split transaction, and data entry is difficult with the amounts continually being changed by Gnucash during entry and I'm having to go back and correct them.  Has anyone heard of this issue before or am I the only one?

Thanks,

Scott Roe
