Screenshot of the problem

From time to time, when attempting to add a vendor bill, the attempt to select the vendor fails, rendering it impossible to raise a new bill.

You reach the vendor selection dialog, where you are able to find the vendor you are interesting in, however despite the vendor being selected, double clicking on the vendor doesn't do anything, and attempting to hit the "select" button causes the message "you must select an item from the list". As you can see from the screenshot, an item has been selected from the list.

Exiting and restarting gnucash seems to have no effect.

After some time this bug seems to go away again, I have not yet nailed down the pattern behind it.

Hoping someone more familiar with the UI code will see what's been missed.

Some further searching for a pattern. What seems to "reset" the behaviour is to load a different gnucash file, and then switch back to the gnucash file you were working on. Thinking of what might have triggered the problem, the bill was being raised directly after a new vendor had been added with "vendor -> new vendor", not sure if this is significant.

Just a note to say I can't reproduce this in Fedora 15.
Comment 3 minfrin 2012-07-01 14:58:03 UTC 
I suspect this is MacOSX specific, as the gnucash file is shared with someone who uses gnucash for Windows and they haven't reported a problem.

Sorry for the long inactivity on this report. We've got some new versions released since then. Does the error still occur with 2.4.12?

Reassign version to 2.4.x so that individual 2.4 versions can be retired.
