Journal.

OK (as I expected - but in this - rare! - case the Windows way is better, IMHO.  Especially if one is running Windows ...  :-)

Hmmmm.  Perhaps a Windows effect, then ...

I'd call that a bug then - either the entry cursor should be live or it shouldn't be visible, IMHO.  Or it should look different when it isn't live.

Can't say that I've notice that, just that auto-fill as implemented in GnuCash is rather more of a PITA, and more persistent about subverting what you type into what it wants you to have typed, than autofill in some other programs (eg - Excel!)
