hi David,

thanks for the reply,

I tried to change the precision as you noted. but it didn't help

some more info:
I am not using the online quotes option. I enter the prices manually every
weekend.
The issue started with version 4.6. in version 4.5 I didn't experience any
issue and it is the same gnucash file (no new stocks/bonds have been added
for a while now).
As a matter of fact, I have reinstalled version 4.5 and it works fine
with 4.5.

BR,
Shay
