What happened?

I was trying to cover my overspending with my buffer category that has the tags: #cleanup source and #cleanup sink.
With Desktop App Version 26.3.0 it worked without problem: it would clear the available balance in the buffer, and after reversing the overspending, the money would be returned to the buffer.
With Desktop App Version 26.4.0, however, the money are removed correctly from the buffer, but when the sink is processed, something strange happens, because I find the money in both the ‘to budget’ and the buffer.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Here is a summary of my specific situation:

The Buffer Category situation:

Using the end of month cleanup this is what happen:

It seems that the clean and sink template become another template:

I am not able to reproduce this, but Im on linux. @MikesGlitch Can you test this on windows?

The cleanup templates always modified the goal values for the tooltip.

Oh, right, I’d never noticed that before. Thanks for checking it.

Doesn't look like something that could be desktop app/OS related 🤔

I think I’ve found the problem. Whilst I was trying to work out what might be causing this, I realised that the money shown as remaining in ‘To Budget’ was actually just a visual display, because when I clicked on ‘Availability’, this popped up:

Image

Under normal circumstances, I would have been able to transfer that money to the relevant categories, and the fact that ‘no actions available’ was displayed made me suspicious. So I clicked on ‘collapse’, and the reported availability magically went back to 0:

When you expand it again, the amounts are displayed correctly:

It seems wich the bug is purely visual and doesn't update the budget pane. I tried also to clear the cache but it act the same.
