[GNC] postpone reconciliation broken: ignores my changes

[David T.]

I know that on my Mac, it takes some time for gnucash to actually finish the save process.  Mine is a somewhat older macbook pro with an SSD. Is it possible that you failed to wait for it to finish saving?

Yes, but opening the second instance brings up the lock file warning, and this is the first time I’ve seen that warning in many weeks.

It usually happens after a power cut, or when I’ve had to power down the computer without an orderly shutdown.

…so I don’t think that’s the problem.

What was unusual about the work that preceded this incident was that I clicked “Save” and then promptly shut Gnucash down - I usually find that when I come to quit Gnucash the “Save” button is already greyed, indicating that an auto-save has already taken place.
