entries into register won't record

[gnua at sundew.org.uk]

Thanks for the links Colin, I'll take a good read at some point.

I've got the latest version on windows and still see the issue, to a 
lesser extent.  When I try to edit a scheduled event (e.g. the rent has 
gone up since I created the schedule), I can modify the transaction as 
needed, but it won't save.  I haven't had the issue with new 
transactions since getting it running on windows.  so my question until 
I get GC installed in ubuntu is how to edit a scheduled transaction.

Many thanks
Andy
