Do you mean tab out of a split, or a whole transaction? I'm not very  
clear on what all the keyboard movement behaviors are supposed to be.  
I usually use Return to enter a transaction after I finish the last  
split amount, so I wouldn't have run into this. I'll try a few things  
to see if I can either duplicate this or at least understand some of  
the other ways of keyboard navigation.

I think 2.0.3 (just release in fink this afternoon) fixes this one.  
But I'm going by the release description on gnucash.org, since I've  
never seen this bug myself.

I get these both on 2.0.3 and a newer version in the svn version. I'm  
going to do some testing, as it might be the newest version of glib2  
that's doing this. I don't remember seeing these complaints on the  
same versions a couple weeks ago. One other thing that has changed  
for me recently is that gnucash is not remembering my window size and  
position, nor the registers I had open when I last quit. Possibly  
some of the failed assertions relate to attempts to store this info.

I think I might have been confused, but you are right, I usually hit  
'return' to get out of a transaction, and that was not working  
(though the last time I tried it did).  I forgot about the issue you  
mentioned as well.  Gnucash does not remember my window size or  
position either.  I will update to 2.0.3.

Thanks for the help.

Someone over on gnucash devel just mentioned that glib2-2.12.5 did,  
in fact, get more strict in gkeyfile.c -- not accepting key values  
with spaces, or some such. This is almost certainly the cause of the  
GLib-CRITICAL messages. I'll still try going back to 2.12.4, though.  
Rumor seems to be that glib devels are seriously considering a change  
to allow the looser rules used in the past. We'll see.

I just updated fink's glib2 to the just-released 2.12.7, which has
downgraded the gnucash issue to a non-fatal warning.

Thanks.

Works for me. gnucash2 2.0.4 (in the tracker) now works for me with  
just a few

GLib-CRITICAL **: Invalid key name: xxx yyy

warnings in the xterminal window. After which gnucash2 does what it  
used to do under glib2 2.12.4.  I would expect 2.0.3 also performs  
properly with respect to setting/saving/reading preferences.

gotta go fix the depends versions, I guess.
