[GNC] Imbalanced in-kind stock transfer

[Dong Lin]

Hi,
I have two stock accounts A and B linked to the same security. Want to transfer 100 shares from A to B.  So in the register of A, set the transfer column to B, and enter -100 (negative) shares, hit ENTER.
The balance of A is decreased by 100. However, B's balance is unchanged and the shares column is empty.
Should double-entry be maintained for stock accounts? Debug logging showed that this should have been handled in gnc_split_register_save_cells for both bank accounts and stock accounts if I read the code correctly. However, it performs double-entry by value, but not by amount/shares. So stock accounts are not enforced. Should gnc_split_register_save_shares_cell perform double-entry by amount? It sets the amount for one split, but not the other one.


Thanks.
Dong
