Register auto-complete

There is something about the register that drives me crazy. I'm sure
this question will reveal to all that I suffer from Tiny Brain Syndrome,
but stupid is as stupid does.
I download transactions from my chequing and credit card accounts via
the manual OFX import. As GC has no concept of vendor, the description
is important to me, so for common vendors I like to have a readable and
consistent description. Often the description that accompanies my
downloaded transactions is not what I want. For example, say I have some
entries like:
SAVE ON FOODS #953 HOPE
SAVE ON FOODS #989 SPUZZUM
Now lets say I have a few of these in the registry. If I try to retype
the descriptions to be:
Save On Foods
As I attempt to change the description, the auto-complete feature of GC
changes my mixed-case typing into all uppercase to match the previous
entries. The only solution I have found is to do something like add a
trailing space and save the description, and re-edit it to what I want
and then remove the trailing space. This is obviously a pain. If I
happen to have numerous entries, then I have to go through this process
for each entry until they are all changed.
Is there a convenient way to suppress (1 time only) the normally very
handy auto-completion of the Description field?
Thanks,
d.
