That's the way it works.

Workarounds:
* Rename the accounts to start with "Closed" so you can easily ignore
them in the account list.
* Create a custom report that gives you the same numbers you're
looking at in the account list.
* Create shortcuts so you don't need the account list any more.
* Close them, then change your thinking about budgeting so you don't
look at the past any more. (Warning-I'm not a budgeter, so this may not
work.)

I closed a couple of accounts this year and I am finding out that after
marking them as "closed" in the accounts list, the transactions are not
considered anymore in budget.
If I go into each category or into each payee, the payments I made from the
now closed accounts are still there but not in budget. These accounts are
selected in the "accounts to use in budget" and if I reopen them, budget uses
them, but not if they are closed.
Reopening and reclosing the accounts every time I use budget and account
list is not very practical.
Is everybody experiencing this issue or is it only me? is this a bug? any
ideas?
Thank you
