Scott,

You have created a test file to experiment with, right?

If GnuCash worked in the past, you probably already have some
transactions in your file similar to the new ones you want to enter. 
What happens if you duplicate one of those and then edit it? Is this
problem only with transactions involving multiple currencies, or is it
more general?

One other thing to try would be to use Tools:General Ledger and enter
the transaction from there.  It will not disappear from there unless it
actually is deleted.

Elaborating further yet on what Michael said, what I have done when I
want use a 'holding' account to track delays in payments or receipts, I
use an account that is of another type such as Bank or Credit Card
different from the Accounts Payable or Receivable account types to avoid
the business features.
