I haven't upgraded quite that far yet, but I am on 5.x on macOS and I
also don't have the problem described by the OP. Regardless, I am
definitely not a fan of the new feature. Previously, I could type a few
letters and have the field populated how I wanted, now I have to select
from a huge list after typing the same letters, so I find it incredibly
inconvenient and prefer the way the memo field (still) works. I don't
mind the popup, tbh, I just wish the field was still filled in the old
way so I could hit tab and be done instead of having to go to the mouse
and select from a list. That having been said, as a general observation
(across many different softwares over the last few years vs a GnuCash
specific observation), it sure seems like convenience features get less
and less convenient and interfere with previously built-in convenient
functionalty more and more as software gets more complicated.

Steve/David,
Working fine here on Win 11 also. What type of register are you seeing the
issue in?
Cheers David H.

freezing, gibberish works also :-)

Steve,
There is AFAIK no general way to turn off auto-completion but when it is
initiated and highlights a transaction which it thinks is a match, there
is a
popup "Don't autocomplete" above that first matching transaction which
allows
you to choose not to autocomplete by clicking on it. The behaviour you
describe
with "A-T" and "U-Z" doesn't occur in V5.3 built on Linux (Mint 21.3) so
it may
be a Windows library problem rather than the GnuCash code itself.
You could raise a feature bug requesting the option of disabling
autocompletion
completely or even on a register by register basis.

Window 11 user here. I finally upgraded to the 5 series, 5.3
specifically.
It all works great EXCEPT the autofill on the description in the
register.
I wish there was an option in the preferences to turn that OFF.
I've spent more time playing around with that than I care to remember...
things I experience with it?
If I type any letter A-T, the list of prior descriptions pops up, but
if I
type a letter U-Z it freezes.
if I type gibberish really fast when I get into the description box, I
can
make the gibberish appear (not that that is useful!)
But if i try to type anything else, it generally (85%) of the time, will
freeze when I get to the second letter. Then i have to delete the
entry.
I've tried re-downloading 5.3, I've tried re-starting GnuCash
repeatedly,
I've rebooted, I've changed the size of window for GnuCash, so I dunno,
I'm
about to go back to version 4.14 or whatever I've been using for past
several years.
I just wish there was a way to switch that "feature" off... I can't
get it
consistently, or most of the time to work. I'm quite happy manually
typing
in descriptions...
