Description Ben Torkington 2016-10-03 23:23:30 UTC 
After the change from New Zealand Standard Time to New Zealand Daylight Time on September 25 2016, dates entered in a new transaction are incremented by one day when saving that transaction. Additionally, the pre-filled date for the next blank transaction is set to the day after that, so where you could normally enter a series of transactions for the same date one after another, the dates will increment one day after another.

Entering dates prior 2016-09-25 is not affected. Entering dates after that are incremented by one day as soon as the transaction is saved. Adding a transaction on the date 2016-09-25 is impossible.

GNUCash was not open during the DST change. Reverting back to GnuCash 2.6.12-2 seems to fix the issue for me.

Rats and d'oh. 13 + 11 is 24, which is the next day; the transaction time needs to be 10:59 Z.

I've fixed it for the next release. Sorry for the inconvenience.
