GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 591098
when starting Gnucash, "Present" and all other collumns exept TOTAL are zero until you open the account

Please describe the problem: I have the Accounts tab configured with the PRESENT and the TOTAL columns. When starting GNUCASH, in the PRESENT column, all the accounts (and subaccounts) starts with the ZERO value. Instead, the TOTAL column has the totals for each account. To view the totals in the PRESENT Column, I have to open each account (to view the transactions tab). As soon as the account opens, the total calculates on the correspondint Account row in the Accounts tab Steps to reproduce: 1. Enable the "PRESENT" column in the account overview using the downward arrow button in the overviews header 2. Create an account and enter a transaction 3. Close GNUCASH and open it again 4. Observe that the account shows the zero value in the "PRESENT" column 5. Observe that this behaviour is different from the "Total" column where the total is correct. 6. Open the account 7. Go to the Accounts tab again 8. Observe that now the "present" column have the correct value
This makes sense since the SQL backend does not load all of the splits until you open the account or generate a report, and the present column value comes from the list of splits. Therefore, if they are not loaded, present value is 0.
