After restoring from a seed phrase on a new machine, not all funds appeared.

Describe the bug After recovering from a seed phrase on a new machine, Zecwallet Lite does not see the money that was stored on the new addresses (the addresses that I generated using the New Shielded Address and New Transparent Address buttons). In order to check the possibility of restoring my wallet in the event of a computer failure, I did the following: I installed Ubuntu Desktop 20.04.4 on a virtual machine, updated the OS and downloaded Zecwallet Lite. Entered a seed phrase. The wallet showed the money that was stored in some addresses, but did not show the money that was stored in other addresses. It turned out that the wallet does not show the money on the addresses that I generated using the New Shielded Address and New Transparent Address buttons. Tried Rescan several times to no avail. As a result, I managed to solve the problem in the following way. Click on the "New Shielded Address" and "New Transparent Address" buttons. The same addresses appeared that appeared on these buttons in the first wallet. However, the Balance on these addresses was 0. Then I clicked Rescan again and then Zecwallet Lite saw the funds.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Click on "New Shielded Address".
  2. Transfer coins to this new address from an external source or wallet (for example, from the Exchange)
  3. On the virtual machine, download Zecwallet Lite, click "Restore from seed"
  4. See error

Expected behavior All coins at all addresses should be visible at once.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • Ubuntu 20.04.4
  • Version v1.7.8

You must import the private keys of newly generated addresses, the seed will only restore the default 3 addresses you started with
