[moneydance] Deleting some transactions doesn't work...

[Katahdin]

This issue comes up again and again !!  And it can easily be  resolved
somewhat by having an indication (check mark, dot, something) displayed on
the initial (or entering) transaction. That would entail no special
programing logic, etc etc

I believe that this is already in the trac system, so it would appear that
we need a class action (or at least a bunch of responses !!  LOL ) so they'd
address this issue.  And while they're at it - indicate the TYPE of account
we're looking at: asset, liability, income, expense , since many people have
the same name for different accounts/categories.  Quick example: "rent" can
be an expense, income,  deferred asset, etc...  Thank you..
