No indication is given that this relates to a schedule, nor which schedule is involved. The same code is invoked on creating a new transaction, but in this case, the origin is obvious. A flag could be created that triggers an expanded message instead, but might there be a better way?

Please could someone suggest how best to deal with this? Obviously, a debug message on the console could help slightly, but might not get noticed.

Not only are console messages often not noticed, if the app is launched from a shortcut or main screen or panel icon, they may not even be displayed.

Are you saying this happens during automatic processing of schedules at startup? That is certainly more of a problem than when the system asks if I want to enter an overdue schedule - in which case I do know which schedule it is for. However, could you just add "While processing schedule <b>%x</b>, " at the beginning of the existing message? This would not make it much longer. Also, what about adding the actual next number that would be used. I can't remember why, but I have a vague memory that would have helped me in the past - especially if the next number to be used is not simply 1 higher than what it was going to use (which can happen if you inadvertently write checks out of order).
