Description Marvin Dickhaus 2018-04-03 18:16:53 UTC

Steps to reproduce

1. Open a ledger
2. Select a transaction for editing
3. Try to remove a wrongfully guessed payee in the "Pay To"/"From" field and leave it empty


Expected outcome

No payee is present in the "Pay To"/"From" field


Actual outcome

The previously removed payee is still present in the "Pay To"/"From" field.

This is a (known?) bug in 5.0.  For now, change the payee to a single space " " instead of making it blank.  That will work to remove the payee from the transaction.

The workaround that I've been using is I have a blank payee at the very top of my payee list.  When I am using the ledger I click on the payee and scroll all the way to the top using my mouse and select the "blank" payee and it will show greyed "Payer/Receiver" in the ledger.  I then complete the rest of the transaction and click enter.  Payee is removed and as I don't have any other info in the form then I see an account that I used as a transfer.

although this bug is actually earlier, the fix was logged against that one, so I'll let that one stand.  The fix will be in 5.0.3
