Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

Here is a sample file which demonstrates the issue: 2023-11-16-My-Finances-2-7f4509e.zip

If you prefer, you can manually set this up from a fresh file with:

  1. Enabling goal templates
  2. Creating an account (maybe not necessary but anyway...)
  3. Creating one scheduled item set to start 2023-11-30, recur monthly, and move schedule before weekends
  4. Choose any budget category and in the notes add #template schedule test where test is the name of the schedule you set up in the previous step

Navigate to a future month in the budget and select "Apply budget template".

The CPU spikes and the app locks up. I suspect an infinite loop somewhere but haven't dug into the code to try to confirm or deny this. It seems to be some kind of edge case related to this particular schedule.

In addition to the steps and file above here is a screenshot of the schedule that triggers the bug:

If you:

  • Set the schedule to "after" weekend, the bug goes away.
  • Uncheck the Move schedule modifier, the bug goes away.
  • Move the start date earlier in the month, the bug goes away.

What error did you receive?

No response
