Balance goes missing

[Elwood]

I'll add to the feedback if/when it happens again.  I don't know the steps to trigger it exactly.  However, I have several years worth of statements to catch up on, so it will probably happen again at some point.

Also, in Comment 1 his screenshot shows that the Expense and Rebate columns are both blank.  In my case, the Balance column is blank, and it affects all new transactions going forward (they continue to be blank).

The account type is setup as mutual fund.  Sporadically, I can enter a transaction where it will not show the new account balance in the last column of the register.  It also does not show on the main account page.  The other account transferring to or from shows it's balance ok, even if it is a transfer between two mutual fund accounts.  I think the resolution has been to shutdown GC and restart.  Am I doing something wrong?
