I think that the problem is that the users tend to think of transactions as
being associated with accounts. In reality, they are not intrinsically
associated with any account.
The register is just a report that uses the transactions which happen to
affect that particular account. However, when you edit any transaction, you
are not doing so in the context of an account. The edit of a transaction
could just as well be done in its own separate window.
