I see these all of the time.  If you fat-finger payee and backspace to
correct and then get autocompletion of a payee in the register you will
get a completion but it won't fill in a memorized account for it.  Add
your transaction amount and hit return and boom!, the dialog saying that
the transaction is being edited elsewhere.

Discard the transaction and try again without fat-fingering the payee
and all is well.

It's very, very annoying since I'm a sloppy typist and I'm not usually
hanging around in gnucash because I enjoy the scenery I'm usually typing
very fast.  I'll be in doing a batch of a hundred transactions or so and
hit it 6 to 10 times.

I'm running 2.2.9 in Fedora10.  about says it's build r17949M
