Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue
  • I will be providing steps how to reproduce the bug (in most cases this will also mean uploading a demo budget file)

What happened?

When closing an account with future-dated transactions, selecting the same account as the destination for transaction redirection causes those transactions to remain active but not impact the account balances or current budget view. This behavior can be used to isolate future transactions for forecasting purposes, but it appears to be an unintended feature as it effectively "hides" these transactions without removing them.

Screenshot of moving the funds to the same account:

Seems like the primary issue here is that the account you are closing is still an option for moving the remaining balance. You can cause the same issue whether the transaction is in the future or not.
