[GNC] Scheduled Transaction Mystery?

[Christina Martin]

FWIW for about the last 18 months to 2 years, mine will tell me on start up 
that it has created x number of scheduled txns. I can see the change in 
value in the register but not the actual txn. They didn't seem to actually 
display until something else happened and I could never figure out what the 
something else was. My work around is to start it, allow the scheduled txns 
to run, save it and close gnucash. When I reopen, everything is happy. Yes 
it's tiresome but it's working for me. I can't recall if this started 
occurring before the upgrade to 4.xx or not.

Regards,
Christina
