Sounds like a good enouh reason to take the leap. Do not fill is
presumably the opposite of what I want, but if it shortened the list, it
probably did so by filtering using a "begins with" type filter, which
would at least help a little. The problem with "keep typing to narrow
it down" is I'm suddenly typing 10+ characters where 2 or 3 would have
been enough before, but that doesn't mean the new method can't have
improved. Thanks for the tips.

I think 5.3 shortened the list and gave priority to most recently
used, as well as added a Do Not Fill option at the top.
I understand keyboards vary, but you can use the arrow keys to
navigate the list (or keep typing to narrow it down)

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.
