Is this a duplicate of bug 505386?
Please try out GnuCash 2.2.3, as it contains a fix for that one.
Comment 2 Ramanoudjame Ganeche 2008-02-19 01:28:05 UTC
Yes, this is the same bug. My apologies for this duplicate bug entry.
I actually use Ubuntu 7.10 gutsy which repository still contains gnucash 2.2.1.
Comment 3 Andreas Köhler 2008-02-19 23:18:45 UTC
Marking as such then.
