trying to send coins am unable to enter address. have to load from clipboard, cannot copy and paste, address bar goes red, disables send functions. i explore reasons, seems 20 unused address gap limit is probably the reason. researched solutions. only feasible solution seems is sending funds to unused addresses, did so with 11 addresses to no effect – i am still almost 80 over. looks like i exceeded 20 over a year ago. money sat in desktop wallet unusable for a week now. Block chain is up to date. cannot see any solutions here or anywhere else. 1. can anyone offer a solution? i am on Ubuntu – maybe there is a terminal gap limit extension solution i am unaware of? 2. how is this possible that an automated system can withhold my own money from me over a technicality which isn’t ever flagged to users? is this even legal? will it ever release my funds if i can’t sort this problem out and do i have redress if not? seems a ludicrous situation and design flaw. any suggestions or help would be appreciated, thanks.
