[GNC] cut/paste problem in 3.4?

[David Carlson]

It looks to me like the paste actually worked fine, but it was not edited
to show the account where you wanted it.  Try adding a split line assigned
to the desired account first.  Of course, then you might as well save, jump
to the other account, copy the other account name over the undesired
account name, re-save and delete the extra line and save again.

That works fine.  You could also navigate to the same transaction in the
General Ledger, for example, and directly change the account name there.

Lastly, you could also request a new feature to automatically check the
account name when pasting a complete transaction into an account register
and throw up a dialog asking whether you want to paste 'as is' or change
the anchor account to match the account register that you are trying to
paste into?
