Register problems (still)

[Mike Alexander]

There still may be some problems with the register.  I can't reproduce 
the problem, or even describe it very precisely, so I haven't filed a 
bug report but I've seen something like this twice now while entering 
data into GnuCash.

Most recently I was recording a payment from my bank account into my 
credit card account from the credit card register which was in "Basic 
ledger" mode.  When I started entering the description field, GnuCash 
recognized the transaction and completed the field.  However when I 
tabbed out of it, the transfer account was blank.  I filled in the 
correct value there (the bank account) and entered the transaction 
which disappeared entirely from that register.  I discovered that it 
had gone into an Orphan-USD account that had been created for the 
purpose, but it wasn't correct there.  It looks like it had only one 
split and wasn't a balanced transaction.  I've attached a screen shot 
of the register for that new account.

When I saved the file I discovered that this bogus transaction was not 
written to the file at all.  I diffed the file with the backup and it 
wasn't there.  Sure enough, when I opened it again the Orphan-USD 
account had no transactions.

As I said I can't reproduce this.  When I tried entering it again after 
reloading the file it worked fine.  This is at SVN level r14345.
