[GNC] Opening account with CR no longer works, also BS does not work

[Adrien Monteleone]

I installed GTK+3 separately so I could use the inspector. (it wasn’t launching from terminal until then) I always install GnuCash from the dmg via Github/Sourceforge. But if that app bundle uses its own libraries anyway then I guess it doesn’t matter.

Sorry, I had just hit <return> with an account highlighted. I didn’t do a search —apologies for my confusion.

Indeed, I can duplicate both of the OP’s issues (CR & BS) by just typing a target account from that tab.

I’m not sure if this is related, but if I bring up a Find Account window (⌘I) instead, I can type a name to search, but the <return> key doesn’t execute the search, I have to click the [Search] button. With the account I want highlighted, <return> doesn’t open the account, (executing the [Jump to] button function) but does highlight it in the Account tab, however, a second <return> opens the previously highlighted account, not the one highlighted from the search. The [Jump to] button does work properly though and the highlighted account does properly now open with a <return>. So it seems one cannot use the Find Account window with only the keyboard. You are required to click the [Search] and [Jump to] buttons.

Should I file that as a separate bug or might this all be the same problem?

Regards,
Adrien

The Gtk+ that I tested against was in a different build environment and was 3.24.10. Issues with search in GtkTreeViews have in the past been related to imquartz.c, the Gtk input module that interfaces with the Apple IMs. That's known to have some other problems as well so I guess I need to take some time to work on it.

Also, the OP is talking about <return> during a search on the Accounts page. It's getting passed to the search box as space and <backspace> and the arrow keys are getting eaten completely.
