Reversing transaction not refreshing screen properly

[Syd Baxter]

David:
Thanks for your response.
Version 2.6.16
Windows 7
Local file on PC. Pretty typical configuration.

Subsequent to posting the original email, I had this occur again in another
circumstance not associated with a Reversing Transaction. (Unfortunately I
did not keep notes.) So the Reversing Transaction may not be the unique
cause.

I expect this is something originating with an unexpected action by an
inexperienced user (me). I still can create the circumstance using the
Reverse Transaction.

As I noted it is not fatal since the accounts do record properly and the
Balance column will correct with (at least) the actions noted.

Thanks, Syd.
