Just noticed that someone else here reported (see below) the exact same
problem I experienced after installing 5.3 GnuCash in Windows, weeks ago.
And I thought I was the only one (I posted my frustration here several
weeks ago)
Subject: Re: [GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a
Window 11 user here. I finally upgraded to the 5 series, 5.3 specifically.
It all works great EXCEPT the autofill on the description in the register.
I wish there was an option in the preferences to turn that OFF.
I've spent more time playing around with that than I care to remember...

Several years ago I installed a theme, something like leather dark, I

Installed 5.0 from 4.13 on Windows. Description field kept freezing.
Couldn't download prices, told me I had an invalid install but when I went
and did the checks, said I was fine. Wouldn't work. Has always worked for
years.
Uninstalled 5.0 and 4.14 works perfectly. Not worth the headache,
