Tabbing through stock splits

[David T.]

That note went specifically in to the documentation after quite a bit of discussion on the lists a while back—to address difficulties users had in getting the zero-share line in. So it should work as described.

Perhaps that is a function of the Linux interface, or perhaps it is a function of GnuCash 2.6.1; I know that this isn’t the behavior in 2.4.11 in OSX.
