Maybe that changes what gets picked up for the auto fill?

It does get the splits from the transaction it is "remembering" here 
(I'm on 2.6.5 but don't recall this changing for a while) I'm guessing 
without trying that the view may affect things.  Have you tried seeing 
if it picks up the splits in basic ledger view?
