[GNC] Bug in GnuCash 5.3 Stock Assistant

[john]

There are a lot of issues with the Stock Transaction Assistant in 5.3, see e.g. https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798988 and https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799054. There are plenty more that I've noticed and it's what I'm working on this week (and probably next week).
 I've added your note about requiring a 0 entry in fees to the latter bug to remind me.

I can't reproduce the shares problem, see attached.

The current de.po has:
msgid "Buy"
msgstr "Kauf"
and
msgid "Stock split"
msgstr "Aktienteilung"

That seems to be match what you about buy vs. shares split. Perhaps you're mislead by the paragraph at the top of the dialog where Aktientelung refers to transaction splits? That's explaining what's represented in that page of the dialog, not the transaction type.

Regards,
John Ralls

The current stock assistant version doesn't accept the empty value for the fees and fills in the word "fehlt" ("missing"). Version 5.1 did not show this behavior beforehand. Entering the value of zero ("0") in 5.3 leads to the generation of the transaction including the corresponding splits with no errors.
