Comment 1 John Ralls 2016-10-06 07:04:11 UTC

So it's crashing because you're trying to commit a transaction with no posted date. An obvious mistake and we should defend against it, which I'll fix for the next release.

Is the date in the date column valid when you hit "enter"?

Comment 2 Craig Van Tassle 2016-10-06 14:38:40 UTC

The date is not shown when I try to edit the transaction. This causes it to segfault. I had to actually delete the transaction from my register and I'm able to get in.

Comment 3 John Ralls 2016-12-10 23:11:23 UTC

I don't know how you managed to get the date to not show. When I inserted a bogus date into the file it crashed in the same place on startup. I've fixed that for the next release.
