[GNC] Scheduled transactions do not appear in the register until <enter> is pressed

[John Ralls]

That was it: The registers weren't refreshed unless the SLR dialog runs and the user clicks OK. I've pushed a fix that will be in tomorrow's nightlies (https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/maint and https://code.gnucash.org/builds/flatpak.maint).

Regards,
John Ralls

I haven't yet looked for the code that does run in that case, but I asked there if changing any of the SXes to "notify" so that that code does run causes the registers to refresh on their own.

That would indicate that something else that's wrapping the SLR invocation has also blocked gui refreshes. If that message isn't there then there's something going wrong in gnc_gui_refresh_internal.
