[GNC] Forces Rebalance Causes Fatal Error - Now with images

[John Ralls]

Crashes are bugs, but some bugs have been fixed. Make sure that you’re using the latest release (5.9); if you’re on Windows or Linux consider using a nightly build from https://code.gnucash.org/builds/win32/stable or https://code.gnucash.org/builds/flatpak/stable to get the absolute latest.

Try to get a stack trace (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Stack_Trace) but at least include a trace file (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Tracefile), then file a bug report at https://bugs.gnucash.org/. 

Regards,
John Ralls
