Selected the transaction you labelled as troublesome and noted that I had selected  <postpone> and that the date associated was 1969. ( I don’t know where that came from.) In that SX screen I changed options and selected <to create> and then <ok>.  Lo and behold I could now get into SX editor and no transaction for 1969 was created. Same thing happens if I say <ignore>.  Calendar editor window opens as expected. When I go to the troublesome transaction in the now open editor then go to <toolbar><scheduled> and try and delete the offending transaction Gnwucash crashes.  At this point I have transaction editor(SX) now available but I cannot delete the original  transaction and it does not have the <postpone> label. I do get a new crash report after I try to delete it and Gnucash crashes.

Whatever happened I now can’t get rid of the transaction although the SX editor seems to be Ok. Doug is my younger brother.  He’ll be happy to know he is now a permanent part of my financial  records.

Wm,

The deferredInstance element of the SX record in question is corrupt; see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=672760.
