I too am trying to track down some crashes and unfortunately I am also
trying to get my bookkeeping done. I highlight this comment because maybe
it's somehow related. I'm running 5.4.1 Flatpak on Ubuntu 22.04.3

My main GnuCash data file (with many years of transactions and about 90
scheduled transactions) ALWAYS shows that it needs to save when I first
open it. I suspect it could be a scheduled transaction, maybe a "zombie"
one that's no longer used, but I haven't taken the time to track it down...

I will note that as soon as I open the data file, the logfile is already
created with essentially nothing in it.

Here's an example from today where I opened the data file, looked for
something and then closed it without saving. Pretty much always it starts
with four START / END sequences at the top.


mod trans_guid split_guid time_now date_entered date_posted acc_guid
