: Hi - one scary thing that can happen when recording dividends for a portfolio with shares in two currencies is that dividend amounts in the transaction editing window show one figure, and the same entry in the data register shows a different figure for same transaction - at the same time!

: Basically editing window shows data in currency of share, while data register window uses whatever overall portfolio default reporting currency is in use.

: Heart skips a few beats every time this catches me out!

: Perhaps we could have a currency symbol in both windows?

: Cheers

Hi Paul,

Yes, this can happen if you have "View / Exchange Rate Adjusted" turned on... A currency symbol would be helpful. Maybe it could only be added when you are not using the default currency.

Thanks,
Mark
