Hi,
What happens is that when I enter the description, the autofill tries to
find a match, but if it does not I am unable to continue typing the
description I want. As Michael D Novack, says , I can end up fighting with
GnuCash to get the description I want. Also, when I try to backspace and
delete letter by letter, that does not seem to work either.
It must be something unique to my installation, if it effects nobody else.
The suggested trick of putting in a wrong starting character does not seem
to work either, as then I cannot continue typing.
Thanks for any ideas.
David
Not unique to you (I am often "fighting" to enter what I want)
But I do NOT understand what you mean by "entering wrong initial
character doesn't work", So let's go back and restate what you say you
are seeing. That's because I strongly suspect what you just wrote not
what you meant to write.
"the autofill tries to find a match, but if it does not I am unable to
continue typing the description I want"
Am I correct? NOT what you meant to write. You meant to write....but if
it does......"
I also suspect that you misinterpreted my suggestion. I suspect you are
trying to do this AFTER you tried entering a description and gnucash
"matched" after you had typed a few characters. And you are then trying
to correct the situation by changing the first character. That is NOT
what I meant. I meant starting over, enter the description with this
wrong first character. Won't match (at least not the first time). Then
after the transaction has been entered, you go back and edit the
description to have the right first character.
