There is one situation where this is not the case, namely
in the GUI register window. Currently, when you are editing
a transaction, the GUI doesn't Commit the edit until you
move out of the transaction or hit record explicitly.
Thus, if you are in multi-line mode, you can edit multiple splits
in a transaction, and then undo the entire transaction and not just
the last split you edited. In these situations, a transaction can be
'open' for an indefinite period.
It would be a simple matter to change this behavior, though.
