Why is the Check Number I assign not being remembered?

Question

Recently my next check to be printed was 6872.  Unfortunately I spilled coffee on that check before printing it and had to entered 6873 as the check number on the Print Voucher Page.  The next time I tried to print a new check (#6874) the system 'forgot' that I had printed check 6873 a few days ago and defaulted to check 6873 as the next available check to be printed.  This appears to me as something that needs to be corrected otherwise each time I go to print a check I'm going to have to override the check number.  Help!

This is a known issue that cropped up a few releases (or MacOS releases) ago. Development is working on it.

You can enter a new check number to get back on the treadmill, and subsequent checks will increment correctly. But, when you restart the program, it will be back at the old number.
