How is the transaction considered valid when there is no account? IMHO
not choosing an account should cause the trx to fail validation.

Hi,
I wouldn't call it a feature, but I wouldn't call it a bug. I would call
it "GnuCash is doing exactly what you tell it to do". Namely, once you
edit ANY field in the new transaction it is considered "completed" -- and
if you hit Enter it will run through the "is this a balanced transaction"
tester (NB: 0 == 0: Balanced) and get committed.
So you're basically saying that you want to enter a transaction with a
specific date, but without a description (this is allowed) and with $0.00
amount (also allowed).
Train yourself to not hit Enter prematurely.

Notice that GnuCash creates empty transactions having nothing in it but
the date when altering the date on a blank transaction and entering.
I accidentally create these on a semi-steady basis and then have to find
and remove them. Is this a feature for some reason? Can I remove this
ability through configuration somehow? Or get a warning before blank
trx's are created?
