Tabbing order of fields

[david.carlson.417@gmail.com]

    I have always used the the auto split view in security account registers so I do not remember what you see if you have that turned off.  You can set that differently for each account if you like.

I'm a bit confused by your description because I don't have splitsvisible.  Please do let me know what I've missed in your description soI can better understand.  For what I see, I have double line viewsturned on but not automatic splits.  In the mutual fund register I havethe columns:Date, Num, Description, Transfer, R, Shares, Price, Buy Sell, Balanceand Action (on the next line).If I start on a blank transaction in the Date field, as I tab over Iland on Description, Transfer and then Shares as I would expect assumingthat the description I type in is brand new (never used before in theledger).However, if I repeat the process and reuse a description (let's say"Dividend") as soon as I tab out of the Description field I jump all theway to the Buy or Sell field (whatever was used last with thatdescription).  The Shares, Price, Buy and Sell fields all auto populatewith the previously used values but now I don't end up on Shares aftertabbing.  It's a minor thing but it makes entering transactions a littlemore awkward than other ledgers because the order of data entry isaltered (number of shares isn't always the same and I usually let theprice get autocalculated so that my buy/sell fields match the statement.)On 2016-08-27 07:57, david.carlson.417 wrote:> Hi,> > You are observing an artifact of the register view when there is mixture of > split lines linked to security accounts and linked to currency accounts.
