[GNC] gnucash not displaying all transactions

[Alex]

I've spotted what seems to be the "new" feature, well at least it is to me.

In the Accounts tab right click on an account, with lots of 
transactions, to reveal a menu. Two options in this menu are "Open 
Account" and  "Open Old Style Register Account".

If I use "Open Account" I see transactions from 09/06/2017 through 
13/04/2018 with 86 transactions that can be scrolled.

If I use "Open Old Style Register Account" I now see all transactions 
from 31/03/2015 through 13/04/2018 with all 308 transactions that can be 
scolled

Also using "Open Account" auto-complete has a different feel as opposed 
to what I'm used to with "Open Old Style Register Account"

If Double Clicking an account in the Accounts tab it opens a view in the 
"New Style"

I'm sure I'll get to like the "New Style", but I would have expected all 
308 transactions to be in the view just like when choosing the "Old 
Style". I'm sure that at some time in the future the "Old Style" will 
get dropped then it will become really worrying.
