[GNC] Stock pricing

[David H]

John,

>From memory there was a bug relating to truncation - see
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2021-October/098191.html
for details.  I think the work around was to enter the price and then press
enter on the keyboard rather than tabbing out of the field - fixed in 4.9
by the look of the bug report.

I've never had problems downloading any of the versions - I usually
download Windows and MacOS versions. If you go back to John Ralls last
release announcement (
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2022-March/100452.html)
you'll see you can download from both SourceForge and GitHub, I'd be trying
both.

Cheers David H.
