For the first, see https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796734 <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796734>. This explains the problem and a workaround.

It sounds as if your second problem is related to https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796741 <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796741>. That is supposed to be fixed in the next release.

When this is not what I want to enter how do I find I have to select the "remaining entry" with the mouse to delete it.  Am I doing something wrong here? Is there a key combo that will clear it out? Continuing to type just adds more between the initial and remaining match e.g.
