Eric, Just for completeness, v3.5 is the most current. But 3.4 is what is in the 19.04 repos. For now, if you want 3.5 you’ll need to build from source. (easy to do) One list user is working on re-packaging a .deb of 3.5 to work on 19.04 and there is an unpublicized (and very experimental) Fla

Cricket Onebit, I would suggest running an extended test possibly by importing one or two month's data into GnuCash then running both GnuCash and Quicken in parallel for a couple of months. It is easy to start over if you decide to do it a different way. Generally, GnuCash does not have any limi

Also, does the unwillingness to scroll happen only on the account register shown, or does it happen only on some other account registers, or all account registers? I just opened my GnuCash, opened a register, put the cursor in the description field of a transaction, and then pressed the up arrow.
