There are times when I want to check the accounts list in the middle of entering a transaction, and I have occasionally (to verify amounts) wanted to check with another register. I'd be okay with the change below as long as there were three, not two choices: 1) Save changes 2) Discard the transaction in progress 3) Continue with the register change.
As an example of changing: when dealing with investments via brokerage accounts, there is typically a "sweep" fund that holds the cash in the account. When a purchase is made, the funds are normally taken out of the sweep account within a few business days. However, I will usually go ahead and enter the sweep transaction early, and I will swap to the register with the purchase transaction to make sure I enter the amount properly.
