[GNC] Strange behaviour

[pyz01 at cox.net]

Tony -- just curious -- this seems very similar to the thousand separator
issue of entries over $1,000 when you include the thousands separator
(comma).  If you enter an entry that includes the comma and go to change the
entry, it seems GNUCASH crashes -- but not entering the comma the issue does
not happen.  Would be interested if your behavior is happening on items that
are less than $1,000 (i.e., or do not include the separator).

There is a reported issue with the separator issue that I think is already
addressed for the next build.

Yes, same problem here on Windows 10 Home with Gnucash 4.2.
I used to just copy and paste a previous entry, alter the amount as
required, and then commit. However this now causes CNC to completely shut
down, but I find if I commit the wrong amount and then alter it, things are
fine.
