Fwd: Currency definition fpr account missing

[David Carlson]

Hajo,

Please include Gnucash-user at gnucash.org in your replies.

Since another user has the same issue and GnuCash did make some changes in
the currency area in recent releases there may be a new bug.  I could
suggest staying with Ubuntu, but there are thousands (at least) of Windows
users that would not like that response.

Perhaps a developer could give us more insight (hint hint ;) ).

no, I did not.. no virtual machine. I have used Gnucash on the windows
machine before with earlier versions of gnucash, there was no such problem
and I have not changed the installation, so I don't think my windows
machine has a changed locale, those settings are all "German
(Switzerland)". The only thing that changed is that I installed the latest
version using chocolatey whereas before I installed gnucash manually.
