I would like to point out that I find *this* aspect of the register behavior highly confusing. The “Select a field in a register that is not the current one” problem crops up at other times. I am not certain, but I think it happens when a modal dialog is closed. It is extremely frustrating to be working in a register that is not the bottom-most and then discover that your typing is going into a register that is NOT the one you are currently working in! Moreover, you may not even be aware that you are changing a transaction that is out of sight—and if you choose to leave GnuCash at this juncture, you will get a mysterious dialog asking if you want to save your changes (huh? what changes? I guess I better!). And THEN, you have no idea the next time what happened in that OTHER register. I am grateful that someone else has seen this behavior and commented on it. I’d like to see it changed. David T. _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
