Indeed, autofill/suggest for memos is now gone! I'm having to type 
everything out again even though some of these have been entered dozens 
of times in this register, for this same 'Description' even. (Register 
always mattered, but I don't think that 'Description' ever mattered 
before with respect to memo fill/suggest, but I could be mistaken) It is 
like I'm back to square one - years ago.

I'm about to find out if the amnesia is permanent, or just long-term 
memory loss but newly typed memos get remembered and suggested.

Regards,
Adrien
