I validated previously for other reasons and this issue remained.

I now see I have a hidden invoice account, and when I unhide it it 
becomes a choice in the menu bar.  I assume if I delete this invoice 
account, the need for a selection will go away.  I am now pondering if I 
want to delete that invoice account or just keep it hidden again.  It 
would be nice if I only have one unhidden invoice account that I didn't 
have to make the choice.  Any thoughts?

Thanks.
