Hi David,

I've just tested doing multiple buys and sells, and multiple scrubbing and
changing the Orphaned Gains account to other Income:Gains:Stk accounts,
re-opening View Lots and clicking various lots, but I cannot reproduce your
problem.
Do you mean it created extra transactions in the register?
You don't mean that it showed extra splits in the 'Splits in Lot' panel for
the selected lot? This is to be expected. It will show the splits linked to
the lot by prior scrubbing.

John Ralls also reported in this thread (Nov 04, 2013; 4:37am) a similar
problem but I have been unable to duplicate that also.

Can you please advise exactly how to duplicate the problem, what you are
seeing and what you expected to see, your operating system and GnuCash
version? Screen dumps may help. You can attach screen dumps to email
messages. Do not insert screen dumps inline into messages as these are
removed by GnuCash mail processing.

Regards,
Chris Good
