I'm putting on my clairvoyant hat here... imagine me waving my hands over
a crystal ball.. hmm.. I see the words "multi-line mode".  Does that
mean anything to you? :)

In the multi-line modes, the account listed on the first line of the
transaction is "this" account; you will need to change the account on
the line representing a particular split to indicate "that" account.
If you change "this" account with no other splits entered yet, the
transaction will disappear, since it only mentions one account and
it's not the one you're looking at.
