Version 2.6.16 built from rev 509ce16+ on 6/27/2017.
I am running it on SUSE Leap 42.2
I downloaded the binaries from the SUSE repositories and installed them
using the YAST tool that comes with SUSE.

If I type into the ending amount field, the date field goes blank. When
I try to reenter the date, the amount field reverts back to the current
register balance for that date.
It is weird, as yesterday when I wrote this it wasn't working as I
described above.
Today it is working! I haven't made any changes, and left it open all
night, so go figure.


I have another oddity that I haven't posted, but have just lived with;
when I mouse over one of the icons at the top, I get a text box but no
text explaining what the icon is. Is there any way to fix this? I have
tried a re-installation and that didn't work.

Thanks for your quick response.
