Register-2 Data Entry

[John Ralls]

I guess I should have done this much sooner, but I tried using Register2. Some issues:

* The number field is reproduced when copying a memorized transaction if it's left blank before tabbing out of the description field. 

* Return doesn't commit the transaction and move to a new empty one, it toggles the edit state on the current field. Tabbing off the end of the transaction, rather than opening a new empty transaction, takes one to the first entry in the account. Arrow-down doesn't do anything. I was able to commit the transaction by arrowing up, which created a new empty transaction that I could arrow down to, but of course the cursor isn't in the date column where I need to start, it's in whatever column I was last in in the previous transaction. I have to back-tab to the date field to start entering the next transaction.

*  Because Enter/Return doesn't move the cursor, the "Enter moves to blank transaction" preference has no effect.

* The new blank transaction shows today's date rather than the last date used. 

* Delete Split doesn't work on a new, unsaved transaction [1]. Attempting to empty the transfer account on a split crashed Gnucash [2].

* Deleting the value in a split's deposit or withdrawal column fails: the value is restored when one tabs out. One must enter 0 which is removed when one tabs out. It's not necessarily a bug, but it's different from Register-1 and we need to be aware of it.

* One must click on a field or press Enter when starting to edit a new transaction, otherwise a search box opens when one begins typing.

* Completion of the rest of a transaction after autocompletion fails intermittently.

All of these problems occur on both OSX with Gtk-2.24.20 and Fedora-18 with Gtk-2.24.16.
