Arguably a transaction that has 2 trading account splits and 2 regular
account splits should be treated like a regular transaction.

Not sure whether this is a software limitation or there is a better way to
do this. For example, the following memorized transaction for recording
stock dividend in USD and Dividend Income in EUR
Totalal Deposit Withdrawal
Asset\Citibank\USD 100.00
Trading\Currency\EUR 92.00
Asset\Stock\ABC
Income\Dividend 92.00
Trading\Currency\USD 100.00
My experience is the first time I enter this transaction in the Bank's USD
account, the exchange rate screen will popup and convert USD 100.00 to EUR
92 in Income\Dividend. All I have to do is to add a dummy split to indicate
the relevant stock for this dividend.
You could just put the stock as a Memo in one of the relevant splits. I
don’t see a need for a dummy split.
However, if I re-enter this transaction with USD 50.00 using the memorized
transaction feature, only the first split transaction will be updated with
"50.00" and I have to manually change the remain
3 figures. Exchange rate windows won't popup to calculate the currency
conversion.
Hmm... Seems like a bug. If you are entering transaction with two
currencies GC will either ask, or make a guess, but I’ve never seen it do
neither. What happens if you change the Dividend amount (as if you were
entering this for the first time)? Does GC create new Trading or Imbalance
splits? Does it alter the existing Trading splits?
It's not autofill, that finished when it filled in the transaction with a
copy of the other one that matched. It's because if there's more than two
splits GnuCash doesn't know how to apportion the changed amount so the edit
in basic view changes only the split in the current account.
