That same 'problem' arises when attempting to delete the 'anchor' split line in a register window. I think the 'anchor' split line is always defined as being associated with the current register, but if there is more than one split line linked to that register, which split is the anchor? Is this the case? Can the user 'jump' to the other account register and find that account split is now the 'anchor'?
If the 'anchor' split was somehow visually identified in the register view there would be less mystery here. On Fri, Nov 1, 2024 at 3:23 PM Stephen M.
