Function to override Quick-Fill ?

[Mark Johnson]

Once it auto-completes, you can right-click.  Choose Delete Transaction 
from the context menu to remove a single split.
(See: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347725)

Or you can choose to remove all splits and start with a blank 
transaction.  This is what I do when the same situation comes up.
