Yes - checking this shown all investments, now i can filter it. 

In the german translation this is called "Eigenkapitalkonten anzeigen" I had 
never-ever associated this point with seeing all investments (fonds/stocks) in 
the report filters...

Now it boils down to a feature request:

- As an user i want to have the ability to exlude all investments not used 
within the reporting period with a simple checkbox (similiar to price 
reports). Activating the filtering for investments i must remember to add every 
new investment to the filter whenever i buy a new (previously not owned) 
investment. This is laborious and error prone.
The list of "active" investments (investments i own for at least one day 
within the reporting period) should be calculated automatically.

shall i open a ticket for it?

Is this the documentation for 4.6.6 or the new 4.7 coming? I ask because the 
documentation shows some settings under the wrong option pane and some 
settings are missing in 4.6.6.

documentation			program
===========            ===========
General - Global Option
* Startup				this point is in the Views option
* automatically save on closing - this is missing in the documentation
* No. of backups		this is missing in the documentation

View options
* Icon size of navigation	missing in the app
* Typ of KMyMoney view    this is missing in the documentation

Filter options
* show categories in the ledger(?)	this is missing in the documentation
* "Eigenkapitalkonten anzeigen"     misleading translation

open an ticket too? or is this the settings tab of the new version?

Best regards,
Stefan
