Hi John, I'm runniing GnuCash v3.4 on Linux Mint Tara(19.0 (Ubuntu 18.04)) .
If I enter a transaction from an asset account register and enter the date as 27/02/2019, the transaction is recorded as 27/02/20 not 27/02/2019 and if I select the dropdown calendar selector the year shows in that as 2020. Only if I enter the date as 27/02/19 does it set the right date. The Date-Time settings in the preferences is "Locale 31/07/13". I remember this occurring in v2.6. It has never bugged me enough to report it as a bug, I just adapted my practice to avoid it. Bug report 797118 raised. If I change the Date-Time setting to "UK 31/07/2013" then it all seems to work as expected. I can enter either 27/02/19 or 27/02/2019 and the correct date is now set so it appears to be a subtlety in the interaction of the locale date format setting and the parsing of the string typed in. I can't wrest my wife's Windows machine from her to check the behavior on Windows at the moment. I'll give it a go later when she is not using it and add any observations to the bug report.
