Description David Monniaux 2002-12-05 21:28:49 UTC 
In a multi-currency setting: EUR and USD, with EUR the default currency set
in Preferences->International. Ask for an expense report, it shows the USD
expenses by default (getting the EUR ones is possible by choosing in the
report options).

In 1.6.6, GnuCash correctly uses EUR for the report if the default currency
is EUR.
Comment 1 Christian Stimming 2002-12-06 12:14:49 UTC 
The default currency for a new report is derived from the current
locale, not from the "default currency" option. What is your locale
setting? If it is LANG=C, USD would be correct as default report
currency. If it is LANG=fr_FR, EUR should be the default report
currency (if not, it is a bug and you can certainly reopen this bug
report).

I think there were lengthy discussions on
gnucash-devel on whether using 1. the locale, or 2. the
account-default, or 3. a seperate preference for that. Even with a
seperate preference for that this setting would still be a system-
(more specifically user-) wide preference and not be
file/book-dependent, which might still be not what users want.
