[GNC] GNC scroll issue only in registers

[Mike Commissaris]

The issue was indeed the setting of  "Number of transactions" is set to
"0". I have no clue how I managed to change it from "0". And to think I
almost reinstalled my operating system because of it!
Can't thank you enough.
Mike

Make sure on the offending machine that Preferences > Register Defaults

transaction limit. Any other number will result in only showing that
many transactions.
