remove specific split line

[bugreport19621012 at fastmail.fm]

Thank you for your replies. But neither of the solutions appears to work 
on my MacBook Pro.

(1) I deleted all the data from the unwanted split line. I saved the 
transaction (by hitting enter repeatedly until the cursor had entered a 
different transaction and the transaction in question had no longer shown 
its split). Then I re-opened that transaction's splits by clicking the 
"split" button at the top of the GnuCash window. The blank split line was 
still there.

I also closed down GnuCash and reopened it. When I went back to this
transaction and clicked on the split, the blank split line was still
there.

(2) I also tried using the "delete" button and variations on that
tactic. I placed the cursor on that line 
and hit "delete." I hit command delete, fn delete, control delete, and 
option delete. Nothing happened. I also right-clicked the line and as you 
see from the screen shot, there is no option for deleting the split 
line, only the entire transaction.

In fact, I did try the option "delete transaction,"
hoping it might merely delete the single blank split line. But nothing
happened. It did not even delete the transaction.

Any idea what's up?
