Description Bob McMeekin 2007-02-11 01:56:21 UTC
Please describe the problem:
Entering bond mutual fund opening balances. No entries in the price database. 24,725.171 shares with basis $309,253.77. Balance sheet shows Assets = $309,253.76 and Total Equity = $309,253.77. If I edit the number of shares in the ledger without actually changing the number of shares (i.e., delete the "5" and immediately reinsert it), the basis (Buy) changes to $309253.76 which balances but is incorrect. The value in the Accounts page remains correct ($309,253.77).

Steps to reproduce:
1. Created empty Assets, Liabilities, Income, Expenses, Equity, Retained Earnings
Opening Balances account under Equity. Broker account under Assets. Mutual Fund under Broker.
2. Mutual Fund opening balance = 24,725.171 shares, Buy = #309,253.77
3. 


Actual results:
Balance sheet shows imbalance: Assets = $309,253.76 and Total Equity = $309,253.77.

Expected results:
Balance sheet should be balanced

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
Balance sheet is incorrect if Buy = $309,253.72 or $309,253.73 or $309,253.77 or $309,253.78

May be similar to problem #309863.

Yes, that's probably the same bug. Also, version 1.8.x is outdated - 2.0.x have been released for almost a year by now.

Rounding error problem still present in 2.0.2. Commodity scu does not seem to have any effect. I have it set at 1/1000.
