I just tried this in the nightly build of Windows 2.5.9 dated 12/04 in a
Windows XP 32 bit environment. The keystroke sequence was slightly
different. I opened the general ledger and, while sitting in the blank
transaction at the bottom of the window I started to enter a
description. Once I had some text in the description field I pressed
tab. The results were not always the same. The first time I got an
error <Glib-ERROR (recursed)**: gmem.c239: failed to allocate 88 bytes
aborting...>. GnuCash crashed. The third time, when I was trying to
verify what actual keystrokes triggered the error I did not get the
error, but GnuCash created a new transaction with an orphan category. I
will need to do more testing to get to the bottom of this.
