This may be related: in the Budget window, click on an account. The  
Options button has focus; to use the Estimate button, I clicked on the  
button (no visible change), *then* moved the mouse pointer on the button  
just a bit, *then* was able to click the Estimate button. This was  
consistent over entering estimates for several accounts in a row.
