Hi,
When entering a description into a transaction, I think GnuCash is trying to
autofill, but it does not allow me to input the description I wish to enter.
Is it me, or is it a bug?
Thanks
David
This is unlikely to be a bug. Bugs don't just affect you.
However your description of the problem isn't clear enough for us to be
of much help. Try again. When you try to type in the description that
you do want, what prevents that? Because of "autofill" gnucash will try
to enter a "match" from the past << a previous description that starts
the same way >> I experience this. You might have to fight with gnucash
a bit to get what you want entered. Assuming you want to have autofill
working for other than the situation causing the problem, here is a
trick you might find useful;
Start entering the description that you do want (the one that is getting
caught by autofill) with an obvious wrong starting character. I usually
use "q" or "x:, etc. Once you have typed in the description that way (it
won't get caught by autofill) you go back and delete that starting
character. Of course this isn't a trick specific to gnucash.
