05:28:34 <chris> NoobAlice: this is caused by a recent bugfix, please report your use case at https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798163 -- ultimately your use of an unused currency is an interesting hack that's likely not handled by this bug fix

13:00:01 <jralls> NoobAlice, It sounds like at some point you decided (incorrectly) to use the obsolete currency BAM instead of a stock in the NYSE namespace. GnuCash used to assign trading accounts only by their names, disregarding namespace, but this caused https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798093 and the conflation of trading accounts if there were two securities in different namespaces with the same symbol. We fixed that in Gnu
13:00:01 <jralls> Cash 4.5. The best way to resolve your problem is to go back to using a security named BAM; of course it shouldn't be in the NYSE namespace either since that conflicts with a real stock.
13:06:01 <jralls> NoobAlice, Oh, I didn't notice that you'd created a special Currency/NYSE placeholder. That won't work any more because actual currencies are hard-coded in the CURRENCIES namespace.
13:07:01 <jralls> NoobAlice, chris pointed you at the wrong bug, that's about Opening Balance accounts, not trading accounts.
13:10:19 <jralls> NoobAlice, your best way forward is to let GnuCash create Trading:Currency:BAM, then delete Trading:Currency/NYSE:BAM and transfer all of its splits to Trading:Currency:BAM. You'll want to rename Trading:Currency/NYSE to Trading:NYSE so that your next stock transaction doesn't create that account.
13:11:03 <jralls> chris, of course it only barfs in a test, the error is from GoogleTest.

13:51:26 <jralls> chris, I can reproduce it on Arch Linux by building with googletest master.
13:52:57 <NoobAlice> jralls and chris: I am sorry! I explained it poorly. My original Trading tree was normal and working, with Trading > NYSE > various stocks, Trading > NASDAQ > various stocks, and Trading > Currency > BAM and also USD. I used the actual, existing, real currency BAM for points so I could have expenses that were recorded in those points if I chose, but I just never set it up to have rates pulled in by Finance:Quote. (I lied to Gn
13:52:57 <NoobAlice> about whether I was actually using a foreign currency, but I can't see why GnuCash would care.) Now, since the update, new BAM transactions are creating a NEW Trading account, with a new Currency, and a new BAM. So I have the old, full Trading account with Trading > Currency > BAM and also my various stocks that still work fine, and a new Trading > Currency > BAM. So, when everything is collapsed, I see two Trading lines in my
13:53:00 <NoobAlice> of accounts. I can post screenshots or anything else you think would help. I have not created any new BAM-denominated accounts since the update, and I have not renamed or modified any old BAM accounts in years, with GnuCash updated regularly.

14:01:09 <jralls> NoobAlice, OK. This sounds like https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2021-April/096315.html

14:01:38 <NoobAlice> YESSSS
14:01:53 <NoobAlice> I didn't see it in the bugtracker.
14:02:39 <jralls> It's not, that's the mailing list.
14:02:58 <NoobAlice> Okay. Thank you.
14:04:33 <NoobAlice> Would you like me to report in the bug tracker?
14:06:34 <jralls> No need, I'm looking at it now and I think I see the problem: My new function 'gnc_account_lookup_by_type_and_commodity' only looks at one level instead of traversing the whole account tree.

14:18:08 <NoobAlice> Thank you so much, on all counts! I will subscribe to the mailing list now. :)

17:56:15 <fell> jralls, looking in https://help.gnome.org/misc/release-notes/40.0/developers.html.en, I wonder if we really wanted runtime 40 in the last flatpak release.
17:57:35 <fell> See also reports like https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2021-April/096321.html
18:17:50 <jralls> fell, flathub is still set up with 3.38. I put the nightlies on 40 after doing the release. I thought we'd discussed that here at the time.
18:18:20 <fell> Then I mixed it
18:19:04 <fell> and there must be another reason, why the settings disappeared in the update.
18:23:42 <jralls> Not necessarily, 4.4 was on runtime 3.36.
18:25:35 <jralls> Though the nightlies had been on 3.38 since last November and nobody complained of a problem.
