> installation prefix is '/opt'.
> Bug 794936 - 3.0 does not open previously saved sqlite3 files properly
> - corrupted business data.
> Bug 794941 - Both print icons export to pdf.
> Bug 794953 - Ellipsize on short tab labels.
> Correct error on when to ellipsize tab labels. Also as this is
> used in two places separate out this to new function so it is not
> duplicated.
> Bug 794990 - Double click does not work on saved reports.
> When you double click on the saved report description nothing

> them was incorrectly setup.
> Bug 794994 - Display Alphavantage key in full.
> Set the entry to expand so all the space is used to display.
> Bug 795031 - 3.0 Crashes on loading when opening 2.6.19 file.
> Bug 795039 - Crash on startup using Technicolor Style sheet in report.
> Bug 795040 - GnuCash crashes when searching for a newly created bill.
> Bug 795049 - GnuCash 2.6.20-1 (Fedora Linux package) is unable to open
> MariaDB.
> Bug 795064 - Enable subtotal-only if either sortkeys are dates.
> This will allow 'show subtotals only' if sortkeys are date-types.
> This allows, for example, prime-sortkey=date, yearly. sec-sortkey=date,
> monthly.
> Bug 795068 - src/optional/python-bindings missing several files.
> Bug 795080 - Some dates reset to 01/01/1970.
> An odd corner case: BST apparently came off of DST at 23:00 26 Oct
> 2014, so midnight that day was ambiguous about being DST or not; that

> Bug 795082 - CSV import crashes if a transaction's 'Account' field is
> empty and no default Account set.
> Bug 795101 - Scrollbar floats and covers toggle buttons.
> When the scrollbar appears for the reconcile windows it can float
> above the reconcile toggle button which make it difficult to toggle. Move
> this column to the start which has the advantage of aligning the amount
> column above the Total value.
> Bug 795142 - Unable to enter account codes in business sheets.
> In Bills, Invoices and Expense vouchers you can not enter an
> account code in an account field like you can on a normal register, enable
> this.
> Bug 795155 - CSV import does not distinguish between deposit and
> withdrawal.
> Bug 795347 - Australian (GMT+10) OFX transactions imported have
> previous days date
> Bug 795377 - Reads and saves Gnucash 2.6.19 XML file, then can't
> reread it, due to bad date in old file.
> Bug 795389 - Hard to see figures in the budget window
> The budget view had hard coded black for normal values and dark
> grey for other values. Changed this so normal values are reset to default
> color and adjusted the grey based on default color for theme.
> Bug 795405 - All Dates in Price Database Off-By-One After 3.0 Upgrade
> Bug 795446 - On Windows there is a blank tip of the day
> When the tip_of_the_day.list is created a new line is appended to
> the list file and on Windows this causes a blank tip so remove the adding
> of the extra line.
> Bug 795471 - Budget window scrolls edited cell out of site
> When editing cells that have been revealed on the right by
> scrolling the window snaps back to the left hiding the cell being edited.
