[GNC] Moving to Gnucash 3

[Paul Schwartz]

I have files that contain many years of transactions [<2 MB]. Last year was
done with 2.6.12 which I think provides accurate numbers. Starting a new
computer on Windows 10, I would like to transition to 3.3 and stay current.

When I open an old file and run a balance sheet I get some very strange
results in my stock accounts. Some stocks are very simple: a purchase for
cash, one transaction. Sometimes the report left justifies the amount of
the stock and correctly reports the value of the purchase. Sometimes it
right justifies the amount of the stock and reports zero for the value. I
have looked at how the accounts are setup, and they look identical.

I have other stocks that are more complex: there are simple purchases and
then debits or credits for $ amounts with zero shares. Those are always
reported with zero value.

I would like to solve the simple cases first. Any help is greatly
appreciated as I don't want to be frozen to using the old gnucash version.
