The behavior that I keep expecting, but not getting, is that when I
have edited all but the last split in a transaction, it would apply
any imbalance to the last split -- the current register. I seen to
recall this in 1.8.x and it maybe a configuration thing, or maybe a
dialog that I asked it to stop bugging me about... 

regardless, for *my* purposes, the vast majority of transactions are
one liners, recalled automatically, with the amount changed. It would
be nice if I only had to change the one amount and the other happened
automatically.
