[GNC] GnuCash frequently crashes. (Jay)

[Jay Kvam]

GnuCash frequently crashes. It seems that a crash is provoked most often in
the following cases:

   1. Attempting to delete a split from a new, unsaved transaction.
   2. Attempting to save a transaction duplicated from a previous, unsaved
   transaction.

Doing either of the above actions does not always result in a crash; it’s
unpredictable yet frequent. In addition to the obvious interruption of a
crash, the workaround is to neurotically save after entering a transaction
or two. The more unsaved transactions, the more likely a crash and the
greater the loss in time, having to reenter lost transactions.

I launched GnuCash using Terminal to look at what John referred to as a
“trace file” in a separate post and was able to capture a crash error
message provoked by Case 1 above; here’s that message:

**gnc.register.ledger:ERROR:/Users/john/Development/Gnucash-Build/Gnucash-3-Mavericks/src/gnucash-3.1/gnucash/register/ledger-core/split-register.c:1072:gnc_split_register_delete_current_split:
assertion failed: (!pending_trans)zsh: abort
 /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/Gnucash

I’ve also attached the Console log within User Reports, also as John
suggested in that other post.

I hope the message and attached log help (If attachments are passed along
to the listserv; I don’t know.).

macOS 10.12.5 “Sierra”

sincerely,

Jay
