scheduled transaction editor bug

Make a transaction that is set to:

Create automatically
Notify me when created
Create in advance 14 days
Remind in advance 21 days

Be currently 15 days early (probably the exact days is not important, the 
above is just how I have it), the bug does not happen on transactions that 
are not set to create automatically.

Now run Since Last Run.

Notice the transaction get listed. Highlight nothing, click Forward, 
nothing shows up. Click Back, this time Highlight the transaction, and 
click forward - it offers to create it.

So far so good, now Click Back, de-select the transaction (Ctrl click it), 
and click Forward - you see a list of all the transactions in the account 
(Checking for example) the auto-transaction was going to use!!

If you cancel at this point, and run it again, the transaction no longer 
shows up, as it was marked as 'Done', but no transaction was actually 
created.

If you open the account (Checking), and leave it in the background with the 
Scheduled transactions above it, you can watch what happens - when you 
click forward, the transaction gets created. If you then click cancel, it 
gets deleted, but if you hit Back it does NOT get deleted, and when you 
go forward, it gets quite confused.
