All transactions randomly switches to dashboard

Post by dbolton »

Anyone notice the All Transactions screen some times switches to the Dashboard. It means I loose my place on the All Transaction screen and have scroll to find where I left off.

I haven't found exact steps to reproduce but is something like the following
  • Open All Transactions screen scroll up so you aren't on he default bottom of the page.
  • Interact with the screen
  • Go to another app (in my case a web browser) to look up something
  • Come back to the All Transactions screen and click on it
Expected behavior: It should stay where I left off

Actual behavior: It switches to the Dashboard as soon as I click somewhere on the transactions.

As an aside, I'd love if Money Manager Ex supported tabs, while you explore side tasks. Typical work flow for me is wanting to review all the transactions with no category. It would be nice to be able to have All Transactions with a "No category filter" than I'm working through while being able to check on questions that come up: What category did I put this type of thing in last time, with All Transactions (no filter) in a second tab.

But it's not possible to create a transaction without category !!
What is your mmex version ?

I import transactions downloaded from the bank. It isn't possible for Money Manager EX to know the category until after I review the transactions. Uncategorized transactions are the expected behavior. The unexpected behavior is when Money Manager Ex leaves the view current view and resets back to the dashboard.

There is a report called "Transaction-InvalidTransactions" in the report manager.
Maybe that's your savior.

@dbolton I cannot reproduce your problem on a v1.9.1 beta on Windows, and the sequence of steps you described. Works fine for me.
And I have also transactions with blank Categories :roll:
