I reported this 'bug' under 1.3.100, but was rather vague since I couldn't remember the exact step to reproduce. The same 'bug' appears in 1.5.0 and the following describe the exact steps I have followed to produce this same behavior every time. Running Mandrake 7.01 (Air), gnucash 1.5.0 under KDE 1.1.2. The behavior I believe to be a bug: Open a register for an account. Choose a transaction, i.e., click on it. Duplicate the transaction. Highlight the memo field, i.e., swipe the mouse pointer across it while holding down the mouse button (this highlights the characters), press the "Delete" key to delete the memo field contents. Type in new contents. Move the entry cursor to the amount entry field (the right field in the cases I have tried - do not know if same behavior exhibited with left field) edit the amount of the transaction. Press the right mouse key to raise the options menu and 'record' the transaction. Click on "Blank" icon to make the "blank" transaction the current transaction. The Memo field in the duplicated transaction which was just edited has now reverted to its original contents. Make the duplicated transaction the 'current' transaction to again - the new contents of the memo are magically returned. Go back to the blank transaction and the memo field contents are again displayed as the original contents. (I can repeat switching back and forth and the edited contents are always displayed when the transaction is 'current' and the original contents whenever the transaction is not the current transaction. Now save the file. exit gnucash. Restart gnucash, open the register with the transaction in question above. The memo field is displayed with its original contents, make the transaction the current transaction and the edited contents magically appear. My guess - the memo field is stored as a pointer to the text. The pointer gets passed to the display routine pointing to the original text string when the transaction is not current. When the transaction is current, the correct pointer is passed and the edited contents get displayed properly. But that's only my guess based on knowing absolutely nothing about the gnucash internals _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.gnumatic.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
