On Windows 10, I use the application icon in taskbar to close and then open the application window which returns back the focus and am able to do subsequent data entry as desired. I gotten into that situation in multiple instance where applications main window refuses to get attention or when a smaller non-modal window disappear behind the app's larger window. Not sure if there something similar in your distro or not but I suspect there should be. On a GUI desktop most distro's have a virtual desktop manipulation app, that should allow you to do simple operation to the main application window such as close, open, move, resize, etc. I think GNC uses GTK libraries underneath it so that quirk might be in there rather than in GNC itself.

Unfortunately, I don't know what I did to get out of it. I found I could highlight characters but backspace and delete would not work. (I could replace them however) Not even all numerical keys worked either. I don't think the account name was involved though. I was in credit/debit fields. Using 4.7 on BigSur.
