[GNC] Backspace key stops working

[John Ralls]

That’s https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796875 <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796875> and should be fixed in 3.4 which I’ll release in a few hours.

Regards,
John Ralls

It auto-fills the previous similar transaction which is what I want.... but when I go to edit the details - let's say I want to change a word using Shift-Back (or Forward) arrow, it selects either a section of the words starting about 4 characters from the left and extending about 8 characters across, rather than the parts of the words or whole words that I want to remove. For example "if the first words are "coaching session" it will highlight "ching sessi"), no matter where I have the cursor positioned in the field when I depress the shift key. However, if I start typing from the positioned cursor, the issue disappears... I can then edit as usual.
