Description Francois Marier 2015-08-03 05:23:18 UTC

Setting a new base currency doesn't force the net worth display on the home "tab" to be recomputed in the new currency.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a new file with EUR as the base currency.
2. Create a new "EUR Account" checking account with EUR as the currency and an initial balance of 10 EUR.
3. Create a new "USD Account" checking account with USD as the currency and an initial balance of 10 USD (exchange rate of 2 USD to 1 EUR).
4. Look at the Net Worth amount on the Home screen and notice that it's 15 EUR.
5. Change the base currency to USD.
6. Go to Accounts, then back to Home.
7. Look at the Net Worth.

Actual Results:  
It's still showing up as 15 EUR as per the attached screenshot.

Expected Results:  
It should be showing up as 30 USD.

If you save, close the file and then re-open it, it shows up correctly as 30 USD.

I have attached a simple file which demonstrates this problem. All you need
to do is open it, change the base currency and then look at the Net Worth.

This bug is still valid in 5.1.1.

Steps:
1. download the second attachment
2. go into Tools | Currencies
3. set the base currency to USD
4. look at the net worth on the main tab

Actual:

It's still displayed as 15 EUR.

Expected:

The net worth should be displayed as 30 USD.

Comment 5 Francois Marier 2021-03-21 03:50:29 UTC

Note that the net worth IS displayed correctly once one closes the file and then reopens it. So it's probably just a matter of refreshing the info on the main tab after a change of currency.
