I have just noticed that I have a scheduled transaction set for December 3 except use the following weekday if on weekend, which means December 5, 2016.  If I open the edit SX window on this transaction using release 2.6.11 in Debian Jessie, there is no colored dot on December 3 or 5 2016, and, since the next occurrence is not shown in that view, it appears that it will not happen in 2016 or it was already entered.  I also see the same issue with release 2.6.12 (Mar 27 build) in Windows 7.

I suppose that means that it will happen soon but I have it scheduled to be entered 70 days early with a reminder 84 days before that.  The reminder has not appeared today, but it would if I increase the reminder lead time to 85 days, so I guess that it is still scheduled for December 5, 2016, even though I cannot find that information in any of the 3 Edit Scheduled Transaction dialog windows.

David,

That's odd, but if in the list "next occur" doesn't say "never" then it's going to happen and whatever problem there is has to do with drawing the yellow dot. Are there other SXes that fire on December fifth?
