What version of gnucash, on what OS and distribution?

By any chance do you have 'automatic decimal point' enabled?

Not that I know about.

If you are entering a stock that you purchased before you started using
gnucash, you should use Equity:Opening Balances as the transfer account.
If you are buying a stock since you started using gnucash, you should
use the account where the money came from as your transfer account.

The data entry line will let you set two of the three values (number of
shares, price per share, total value) and will compute the third.
