SX scheduled or not?

    In fact there are several transactions scheduled for both Dec 3 and Dec 5 in this file.  Not all of them are set to move to the following weekday.
There is no shortcut from the transaction edit dialog to the list view so it is not easy to check on when or if the next entry is really scheduled.  That is one of my issues. A shortcut would not be needed if the next occurrence box from the list view was also shown in the edit dialog.
The other is that the part of the edit dialog that is supposed to show the calendar of future scheduled entries seems to fail for the case where the scheduled date falls on Saturday and it is supposed to move to the following Monday.  However it does not fail in the list view.

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.> > Curiously, from the Scheduled Transaction list window, that transaction is shown as scheduled to next occur on December 5, 2016 and it appears in the list under the colored dot on December 5 20156 in the calendar portion of that page.  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.> > Shouldn't it have a colored dot on the calendar in the Edit Scheduled Transaction dialog (and perhaps be listed in a Next Scheduled box somewhere in the dialog)?> > I have not upgraded to release 2.6.13 yet on any of my systems, so if this is fixed, it is not mentioned in the release announcement.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?Regards,John Ralls
