Hi David,
I've just had a chance to test this using latest Ubuntu 20.04.3 Flatpak
flathub stable 4.8-1 (system) install.
I assume you were testing on a self built GnuCash or were you using the
UNstable flathub flatpak (the latest stable on flathub is 4.8-1)???
I had no problems selecting the 2nd transaction (which was a transaction to
be added in my test file).
Rubber banding does work but (by design) correctly does not select matched
transactions as it makes no sense to assign an account as the matched
transaction account will not be changed.
Right clicking on a match (or an imported transaction with a match)
correctly does not offer "Assign a transfer account to the selection".
There is one thing that is not quite how I expect selecting should work:
One must left click to select a line. Right clicking on a line does not
select it.
Perhaps something I have mentioned was tripping you up?
If you were using the UNstable flatpak and are still having trouble, I will
test using that...
Regards,
Chris Good
