[GNC] Upgrade 4.4 tp 4.5 annoyances

[Dale Alspach]

My install was upgraded this week (flathub) from gnucash 4.4 to 4.5 on
Linux Mint 20.
I think some of these have been reported by others.
1. First gnucash opened as though I was a new user and needed a new account
setup. I was able to stop this and get to the file menu and my last
saved version. The load of my file takes a while and there was no
indication that it was actually working and not hung. It did finally finish
loading.
2. Autosave was not working. Though after three days and quitting and
restarting it asked me a few minutes ago whether I wanted autosave to work.
Now it appears to be working (fingers crossed).
3. Some settings/preferences were lost. Examples: blank transaction before
future transactions, my open tabs
4. The memory of past transactions was odd. In one account it seemed to be
fine but in another it would complete the description but not the other
account or amount. Now it seems to be working correctly.
5. It defaulted to fractional presentation  for some columns for
investments. Changing the decimal preferences fixed this.
6. Apparently a new feature was implemented which is annoying me. In the
past I was able to open a credit card account and clear several
transactions without hitting "enter". Now I am having to retrain myself to
click the "n" and then hit "enter" to avoid getting a discard/save popup. I
can see that trying to change "y" to "n" or "c" might trigger the dialogue
but I would prefer that switching between "n" and "c" not.

I wonder whether it was necessary to quit and restart to get gnucash
working correctly with my data file.
