[GNC] Return of Capital

John,

I thought the same thing on price, but if you look closely, the “1” is cut off because the column is too small. The line total reflects that indeed, that split was at $10.

Regards,
Adrien

In basic view GnuCash will put up a dialog asking whether you want it to change the amount, value, or price to make sense of it. Split view won't do that. That was probably also what was suppressing generating the trading account splits.
