you should be able to type "ex:fo" to get expenses:food. That is gnucash 
expands each component of the path individually. If that doesn't work you have 
indeed found a bug.

A bit of background on why we are in this situation: we were forced to 
completely overhaul the register code for 3.x due to the "mandatory" upgrade 
to gtk3 fairly late in the 3.x development cycle. I wish we had had more time. 
So the register code does indeed still have some rough edges which we're 
trying to clean out as they are reported.

Please bear with us and by all means continue to report the issues you 
experience so we can make the next releases better again!
