[GNC] autocomplete not working in 3.2

[John Ralls]

This problem has been reported in the bug tracker as https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796734.

For a workaround one can rename or remove Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/lib/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/immodules.cache. Note that that will break the use of input modules so one will no longer be able to work in Asian languages that require input modules.

Regards,
John Ralls
