[GNC] New computer not showing all transactions

[Adrien Monteleone]

I'm using 5.16 between a Win10 installation and a Linux Mint 22.2 
installation via Samba (stored on the Windows machine for now) and I 
don't see this issue. (or much of any other that I can tell)

There might be a wrinkle between your Intel version and your ARM version 
though.

However, my first hunch would be to be absolutely triply sure you are 
indeed opening the same exact file. (and also not a backup file) Can you 
copy it back and forth by means other than DropBox, perhaps a USB key? 
(just the book, don't worry about preferences or other stuff for now.)

Regards,
Adrien
