Usually happens because you hit the enter key in the middle of making all the changes. I found (at least up through 3.7 on Ubuntu 19.10) that making all changes to all lines will remove that "extra" line that pops up after modifying the first split. Safe the enter key until it all looks good again. And yes, it would be nice that a "zero" split line would automatically be removed when the enter key is hit. This would be helpful when the enter key is hit in the middle of making changes. Keep on fixing the remaining lines and let that Imbalance line go back to zero and have it automatically disappear at the next enter key. Would be helpful also in those cases where a transaction sits for hours (days, weeks, months) with an unnoticed Imbalance split and you finally come back to fix it. Might be helpful just in general for any line that goes to a zero value (but I think some folks use those lines for other purposes so they might object). I would be fine if it only happened for the "Orphan" and "Imbalance" lines going to zero. > > On Fri, Apr 10, 2020 at 1:03 AM Håkon Fremstad <h.frems...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Hi >> >> Whenever I change the value of a split-transaction, I get an imbalance >> with the difference.
