screenshot 1

I'm trying to setup a new set of accounts. When I get to the "Choose accounts to create" page, I de-select "Common Accounts" and select something else, as in screenshot 1.

At this point, I click "Last", "Apply", and save the file. When the accounts tab opens, only the accounts from the "Common Accounts" template are shown, as shown in screenshot 2.

-----

Addendum. While going through the steps to reproduce this, I discovered the following:  If I do not save the file after the last step of the druid, the correct accounts are created.

Did you de-select common accounts before selecting Car loan?  If you don't then the common accounts get created too.
Comment 3 jdp.gnome 2014-01-08 15:23:14 UTC 
Only "Car Loan" is selected, as in the first screenshot. I'm not sure what other info I can give you. If you're suggesting that the order these items are selected/deselected is important, then that is a ridiculously non user friendly interface.

I'm using version 2.6, here's the text from the about screen: "This copy was built from git rev 38a0d33+ on 2013-12-29"

I chanced on this error a couple of days ago, and worked around it by checking, unchecking, and rechecking the additional account that I wanted. I'm pretty sure it worked correctly before 2.5.9.
