[GNC-dev] Master problem when entering account in register

[Chris Good]

Hi,

 

I'm seeing what looks like a problem in GnuCash built from source pulled
from git master with latest commit:

5th Apr 2020 No gnucash/gettext scm module anymore, the translation defs are
in core-utils a392190adf877b552c25936c493c4d63a4a83e8f.

 

Say I have a transaction with 2 splits:

Assets:Current Assets:Bank1

Expenses:Groceries Joint

 

I click on the transaction Description, then click into the Account field
for the Expenses split.

It shows "Expenses: Groceries Joint" with nothing selected and insertion
cursor at the front.

I highlight the full field using Shift End.

Type ex and the field shows (nothing highlighted): 

rage CommSec CG:AMP CGex

and nothing in the now open selection list.

This is a combination of my Asset account Assets:Investments:Brokerage
CommSec CG:AMP CG

and the ex I typed.

 

This is running client Ubuntu 18.04 in VirtualBox on host Windows 10.

 

This seems like text selection
<https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797052> Bug 797052 - Autofill
Selection is Corrupted After Clicking Description.

 

This is not happening with my maint built from source in the same VM.

 

Can anyone else duplicate this problem?

 

Regards,

Chris Good
