[GNC] crashing trying to do a simple split

[David Cousens]

Mark,

Your description of the process you are using doesn't sound correct to me. 

In Double line mode you would need to enter the date and description. There
is no place to enter an amount and no Split command available here. At this
point you would either have to hit Enter to open up the line for the first
split (which will be to the account of the register you have created the new
transaction in which will appear in the Account column. You could also reach
this point by using the Tab key.    You can then enter the amount in the
appropriate column. You can also add appropriate information to the Memo
field for that split if you wish

At this point you need to use the tab key to open the line for the second
split. It is here that you select the account for the second split. Normally
Gnucash will automatically place the amount you have entered in the first
split in the other column. If you are not creating a transaction with more
than two splits, you are done, just click anywhere in the rest of the window
or in the line for entering another new transaction and your transaction
will be recorded.

If your transaction has more than 2 splits, correct the amount for the
second split and then tab or hit Enter. GnuCash will then open another line
with the amount of the now third split in the appropriate column with an
Ophan account displayed. Enter any Memo information and select the correct
account. Again if you have further splits to add, correct the amount and
repeat this procedure until your transaction is complete.

See the Help manual https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-help/help.html 
Chapter 6 for detail on entering transactions.

This is how it works in V3.6  on Linux and AFAIK in should be the same under
Windows 10.
