Res: Issue entering transaction on a new account

[Renato Moutinho]

Hi Derek,

     well.. I load my personal finances file, double click on my banking account. Gnucash brings a list of transactions. Then I select the account name for any transaction and begin typing Despesas:Som. When I'm typing up to the first s, after the colon, it keeps trying to match (there's an account named Despesas:Supermercado). When I type the letter O, the list of accounts stays open above the field I'm typing but with no account selected. When I finish typing the whole account name, I hit enter. Instead of prompting me to create a new account, gnucash replaces the account name with Despesas:Supermercado.

Regards,

Renato Moutinho

 registered).

Can you provide an example?  As soon as you type more than existing
accounts it should stop trying to match, and indeed that's what it
does here for me.

 not certain) and then type it again to make gnucash prompt me to create
 a new account. I'm interested on working on this issue. Anyone could
 give a clue on where I should begin looking ? That is, where's the
 portion of code responsible for handling input ?

A combination of places.  QuickFill and the register.
