+1 from me.  I have a bunch of split transactions (e.g. my salary) with
a dozen splits and every paycheck I autofill from the previous and then
use the arrow keys to go down the list of splits to fix the amounts.  It
would be annoying if I had to 'activate' any cell I entered in order to
make changes.

Could this just be a failure to disable the gui-refresh while
committing the changes?
