Pay Bills Gets Wrong Value

PROBLEM

The Pay Bills window can get a wrong value under a very specific sequence of actions. This happens only if you go into the itemized list of invoices and select just some items, then click OK, then turn off the checkbox for that vendor and turn it back on. In that case it fills in the total amount due, not just the amount of the invoices marked to be paid.

Caught By

User bug report in Goldenseal accounting software.

Workaround

Double-click to see the itemized invoices, then click OK.

Solution

This is now fixed in version 3.5.

Technical Details

The original problem was plain old laziness, since the table had no way of knowing the amount due. The amount of programming to fix this was way more than it deserved, but we do like to have things be as close to perfect as possible.
