[GNC] Bug in GnuCash 5.3 Stock Assistant

[Carsten Hütter]

Hi John!

Thanks for your instant reply.

As you can see in the attachments, I correctly entered "Kauf" (long buy) 
at the beginning of the assistant dialog, but ended up with a message 
about "Aktienteilung" (which is stock split, *not* transaction split). 
Nonetheless, after finishing the assistant, I get all the right purchase 
transaction splits in my book. BTW: In the first dialog, the German 
translation string obviously is missing.

I will try to install the English GnuCash app sometime later to check if 
this is a particular bug in GnuCash stock assist or a translation error.

Regards,

Carsten

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.
