I think it is the same/similar code used for account selection. (and
that feature *greatly* speeds up entry)
The idea is that you don't *have* to know or recall how something is
spelled *in order* and thus get all options so you can choose the right one.
While that is intended, and can be helpful, there are certainly times
where it slows you down. I haven't noticed on the Description line, but
I know account lookup is limited to 20 results. This can pose a problem
if the desired account is not shown in those 20 results as you can't
scroll to it at all. This forces a more complicated 'lookup' entry or
resorting to the old-school a:b:c shorthand to get what you want. I can
only imagine that if the Description field has this same limitation,
that can be another complication.

I did that and it's now only 12! The oddity for me is that not only is the
list long but in my mind typing "jo" should start a list that begins with
jo, not al johnsons, happy joes and jimmie johns!

I know it involves an extra keystroke, but type "jo". At least then you
don't have to use the down arrow 20 or more times.
