[GNC] Transfer Account Changes - Sometimes?

It seems the auto input in this field is inconsistent - at least in the way
I use it. Following examples from today:

In Account - Checking:
I enter Walmart in Description, Tab Right, and Transfer (don't understand
the naming convention) field auto-fills EXPENSES-GROCERIES. I click on the
drop down and select EXPENSES-CLOTHING,  proceed to Tab Right, enter the
$amount and press Enter to complete the transaction.

The next time I enter Walmart in Description and Tab Right,
EXPENSES-CLOTHING auto-fills. That's what I would expect.

So Ingredients go to another Account - Sams:
I enter Sams in Description, Tab Right, and Transfer field auto-fills
ASSETS-CHECKING. I click on the drop down and select EXPENSES-AUTO-FUEL,
proceed to Tab Right, enter the $amount and press Enter to complete the
transaction.

The next time I enter Sams in Description and Tab Right,
ASSETS-CHECKING auto-fills again! That's NOT what I would expect. What I
expect from entry example above is EXPENSES-AUTO-FUEL, the last entry I
made.

I don't know if this is a bug, option setting, or me using the software the
wrong way, but I would like the actions to be the same all the time. The
way it is now, leads to entry errors.

Thanks!
