no difference between 'Balance' and 'Total' in the account overview

Created attachment 186085 [details] Scrennshot of account overview sreen I guess since 2.4.2 there is no difference between between 'Balance' and Total' in the account overview screen (see attached screenshot). The Checking account has only one entry: 100 received as salary, corresponding account is 'income'. The two debit card accounts have also only one entry, 25 spent and 10 spent as Expenses. In previous versions the 'Balance' showed 100 (because that's the current balance of the checking account and 'Total' showed 65 as tht is is the sum of all balances of the account and its sub-accounts. Could please look into it so that under 'Balance' just the balance of the respective account without its sub-accounts is shown again? Thanks and best regards, Klaus

In version 2.6.9, 'Balance', 'Balance (USD)', 'Total', 'Total (USD)', and 'Total (Period)' all show the same values, which is the sum total. 'Balance (Period)' shows a different value, which is the non-sum total. 'Balance' and 'Balance (USD)' should also show the non-sum total.
I think, that in file 'src/gnome-utils/gnc-tree-model-account.c', lines 673-691, the recurse argument to 'gnc_ui_account_get_print_balance()' and 'gnc_ui_account_get_print_report_balance()' should be changed from 'TRUE' to 'FALSE'. These lines deal with the 'Balance' and 'Balance (USD)' column values. This is to match lines 692-702 of the same file. These lines deal with the 'Balance (Period)' column values. What do you think?
Created attachment 313872 [details] [review] patch to disable recursion in balance and balance (usd) columns
Created attachment 313873 [details] accounts page before patch
Created attachment 313874 [details] accounts page after patch
Can we get this patch included in 2.6.10? Thanks!
Yes, you are right IMO that all balance columns should behave the same. I have applied your patch to the maint branch. Your fix will appear in the next stable gnucash version (2.6.10). Thank you for your contribution !
Reassign version to 2.4.x so that individual 2.4 versions can be retired.
