No I didn't delete the account?
Why would I do silly thing like that and lose all that history?
The account is hidden because it's balance is 0.
Reappearing means exactly what it says.
I was no longer in the account tree, i.e. list, because after the
sale it's balance became 0. No matter how I record that late
dividend the balance becomes non 0 and the account reappears in
the account tree or list.
I didn't think you deleted it, but wasn't sure what was going on.
I can set an account with a non-zero balance to 'hidden' and it
stays that way, even with subsequent activity. I can set it to
hidden with a zero balance, add another transaction to make it
non-zero, and it stays hidden. I'm not sure why your account is
showing up.
Did you by chance set a View filter on your Accounts tab that would
affect this?
I don't under stand the last part.
A Dividend receipt would normally be between some asset account
('bank' or a brokerage cash account if direct deposit,
'undeposited funds' if by paper check) according to how you
received the money, and an Income/Revenue account, say 'Dividends
Received'. The FundXYZ account shouldn't be touched at all.
As it states, 'normally' a dividend transaction doesn't involve the
fund/stock at all. It is a separate transaction between asset &
income accounts. Though David just informed me that there may be
times you might record it there, which I had not thought of.
In both cases you record an empty split to the stock account. That
doesn't change the account's balance and therefore won't unhide it
from the Accounts page.
And how do I do that?
See
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v4/C/gnucash-guide/invest-dividends1.html#invest-dividendcash.
Did you have dividend reinvestments turned on? Were you posting
dividends the way that the next section, Dividends Reinvested,
recommends? Was that last post-sale dividend reinvested so that you
had to do a second sale?
Not sure what you mean by "turned on" but the previous dividends were
reinvested and were entered manually.
