However, when I enter a Split transaction and try to _Cancel the current transaction_ (usually Imbalance-GBP) the _Button_ doesn't seem to work anymore. It always worked a dream before and took out that line. It doesn't make any difference to the accounting because when I check my Trial Balance ledger the Imbalance-GBP is still zero and, therefore, makes no difference to my accounting, but this is just a bit frustrating.

Are you sure you're using the right button? To delete an existing split you want the delete button, not the cancel button. The delete button is a white circle with a red border and a black "X" in the middle. The cancel button, which undoes any edits made in the split since it was last committed, is a red octagon with a white border, like a "STOP" traffic sign without the word.
