[GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

[john]

So if you create new entries with the word "test" it doesn't freeze but if you put "test" back into the "Car Annual Test" transaction it freezes?

What happens if you create a new transaction with "Car Annual Test" for a description? My thought was that the position of "test" in that string might have something to do with it, so what about "Car Annual Test Foo", both in the original and in a new transaction?

Regards,
John Ralls
