[GNC] Found a bug, accounts gone haywire.

[Michael Davis]

Hi all,

I just joined this group to report this problem. I’ve been using GnuCash for more than 15 years and I’ve never before had a problem with it.

It does have more than 15 years of data in it, the file size is 2.4MB.

When I opened it a couple of days ago, some of the accounts were messed up. For example, I’ve got a liability account for my credit card, the balance should be a credit of a couple of thousand. But now it’s a debit of over 600,000. Looking at the transactions, it starts at zero and adds every transaction as a debit, sort of like this:


debit | credit  | balance
      |         | 0.00
10.00 |         | 10.00
      | 20.00   | 30.00
…
      |         | 621,245.35


Has anyone else seen this?

thanks
