Incidentally, I replied earlier that I use the interest popup but not the credit payment popup. I could easily do without either one. I have the credit card payment as a regularly scheduled transaction with no amounts filled in. I would probably do the same with the interest transactions if the popup went away. Or maybe I will do it anyway now.

I never use this feature and the monthly credit card payments are taken care of by a scheduled txn as they occur on pretty much the same day each month and all I generally ever have to do is update the amount and occasionally the date. At odd times I used to have the payment dialog popping up even though it was turned off in the global setting but I see you guys have that bug sorted. On the very rare occasion I need to enter an interest txn I'm more than happy to enter it manually - I think I might have done one of these in the last 18 months :-) So I say go for it.
