[GNC] Converting a manual transaction to an AP payment

[gnucash.dgr9z at ncf.ca]

I do indeed have Build ID: 3.2+ (2018-06-24). 

Eight-clicking on a transaction without first selecting it simply selects it. Right-clicking again pops up the context menu I described in my previous message.

Click GnuCash > About GnuCash

and make sure you see:

Build ID: 3.2+ (2018-06-24)

If it’s an older build, there was a bug (I thought fixed in *all* of 3.2, but perhaps not) where the context menu was only a text-entry menu and it was difficult to get the proper context-menu to show up.

Also, try right-clicking on the transaction *without* first selecting it. When I reported that bug, I noticed the issue was triggered by first selecting the line which put me in text-entry mode and why I was getting the wrong menu.

And if you’re not on 3.2 with the 2018-06-24 build, then try installing again from a fresh download of 3.2.

Regards,
Adrien
