[GNC] Autofill Oddity

[Robin Chattopadhyay]

This happens to me under Ubuntu 20.04 LTS as well (Under several Gnucash
versions up to 4.4, it started around the time the feature to filter
accounts was introduced instead of the previous way of starting at the top
of the tree).

I have worked around this by clicking the drop-down arrow in the Transfer
column. Then the auto-fill can proceed as 'normal'.
