This almost sounds like "test" is written into the code as a (pardon) test

will see it. Is it just "test" or are there other transactions?

If I put 'foo' at the end all works well.
When I take 'foo' off the problem returns.
Take out 'test' all works well.
Just for the record, I close GC and restart it on each change when testing,
just to make sure it isn't 'remembering' anything.

So if you create new entries with the word "test" it doesn't freeze but if you
put "test" back into the "Car Annual Test" transaction it freezes?
What happens if you create a new transaction with "Car Annual Test" for a
description? My thought was that the position of "test" in that string
I'm not so sure.
Your reply prompted me to put it to the test, no pun intended.
So I went back to the original entry and typed 'test' at the end of the
description text.
Lo and behold, the program froze on inputting 'tes' and also when deleting
it the last 's' of the original entry.
The truth is
So no more freezing? That is indeed strange.
Good to know it wasn't a problem with the search then.

I didn't understand the code, I just copied and pasted it.
I did wonder about there being a random character as I copied and pasted it

Very strange that it is just (so far) 'Tes'
Tesco is left out of the search by the `[^c]` term in the regular expression:

The bit about Test is interesting. I was expecting the problem to be something

With regards to my previous answer, I decided to delete the word 'Test'

We need to move this back to the list, your results are of general interest and

The matcher only tries to match on the beginning of words, so whatever is

Hello,
Recently, I've been having a problem entering Descriptions for my
transactions.
At first, I could only enter 3 characters, then it would lock up.
Now I can only enter 1.
All other fields seem to be working just fine. The only field I'm
having difficulties with is the Description.
