I started in on my year end taxes a couple days ago. I will get them
filed and paid on time this year.
I import .OFX transaction and be sure the distributions are correct. I
also paste in details of purchases typically from Amazon and Ebay. This
specific incident is from Amazon. It's not an isolated incident but at
the moment I can't specifically say it happens in other transaction
vendors than Amazon.
After the initial entry, I put GNUCash aside and double check a couple
days later. I see a transaction categorized correctly but it looks like
I haven't pasted in purchase details. I place my cursor in the seemingly
blank line to enter some detail and (abracadabra) the detail I entered a
couple days ago appears - no I don't believe it's auto complete as I
click the enter command and as I move my cursor out of that transaction
it disappears again and no comment from GNUCash to save changes.
Generally I cut and paste the detail info (not available in the .OFX
transaction) from a .CSV import to a spread sheet that makes it easy to
search for amounts and to copy/paste the detail. I can click back and
forth between the line with odd behavior and a line in another
transaction and have the consistent behavior of appearing when clicking
on the line and disappearing when clicking outside of that lines
transaction. Just for grins I prepended a ' ' space at the beginning of
the line trying to rule out invisible specharacters, recorded the
transaction, clicked out of the transaction and experience the same
disappearing behavior. In this same register I can see many of the
transactions that I've entered additional memo, non .OFX content,
information displaying as I would like - not disappearing...
This is the string; "Creality 3D Upgraded BLTouch V1 Auto Bed Leveling
Sensor Kit Accessories for Creality 3D Ender 3/ Ender 3 Pro/Ender 5/CR
-10/CR-10S/CR-10S4/S5/CR20/20Pro" Could the GNUCash enter or display
routing or associated library used be interpreting '/CR' as a CRLF or
??? exhibiting this strange behavior?
As I say this was not an isolated incident. It's happened a few time
over my couple years use of GNUCash. Maybe happening more often as once
I'm clicking 'enter' I'm not looking at the transaction.
