Roger,
I just did a test transaction. It worked as expected.
I entered a transaction with a credit to a USD based asset account and a debit of equal value to an XAG based account. A pop-up window asking for the exchange rate appeared.
I also used the ’Transfer’ button on the toolbar which includes the exchange rate fields at the bottom.
What OS are you using? (I tested on MacOS Mojave)
Regards,
Adrien
