Expense account in "Edit Bill" cannot be filled
Last modified: 2018-06-29 21:01:09 UTC
Please describe the problem: In the "Edit Bill" window, in the account register, "Expense account" cannot be filled. Using the pop-down menu, the menu appears, but the entries are blank. Auto-expanding if you fill out using the keyboard works, but the input is not accepted. Workaround: Create a second (empty) transaction line, afterwards the first line can be edited and works without problem Steps to reproduce: 1. Create new bill 2. Try to fill out a line in the "Edit Bill" window 3. Push the pull-down menu in "Expense account", or try to fill it out with the keyboard. Actual results: -A empty menu pulls down (its big, but all entries are blank). -Type ahead works, but the input is not accepted. Expected results: It should work just as in a normal acount register Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
I cannot reproduce this on my current SVN system. I followed your instructions and it worked just fine. I pulled down the "expense account" pulldown, selected one of the accounts, and moved on. This is with r13734. So... I need much more information from you so I can reproduce this here. Otherwise I'm afraid I'm going to have to close this as Invalid, because it works for me.
@Roman: Which language do you use gnucash in? LANG=de_AT, I guess. Does the problem still occur if you use english gnucash by calling "LANG=C gnucash" on the command line? If yes, do you think you could create a sample data file that shows this behaviour, and add it to this bugreport as "attachment"? Thanks.
Created attachment 62851 [details] Gnucash testfile
Hello, i created a testfile which is attached. I use LANG=C. The version of gnucash is 13672. Starting with the attached testfile, I do the following steps: 1. Business->Vendor->New Bill 2. Search for Vendor "ACME", select him. 3. The "Edit Bill" tab pops up. 4. Hit tab, "ducks" into field "Description" 5. Hit tab until I get to "Expense Account" 6. Click on the small square for the pull-down menu 7. A Big White Rectangle is pulled down, but its empty and all white.
Hello, i tested this again with version 1.9.5, r13793, and the error did not occure again. Regards, Roman
Thanks.
