[GNC] Fwd: Transaction Entry Confirmation

[Dale Alspach]

If the register is set to future transactions after the blank transaction
and the cursor is on the bottom future transaction, the transaction can be
committed but the cursor does not move off the line. I submitted an RFE
about this a few weeks ago.

NB: If the cursor is still in the current transaction, then it was not
committed.  If the cursor moves to a different transaction, it has been
committed.  In either case, GnuCash will not let you close the register
window if you have non-committed changes.

PS: If you want the feature, patches are always welcome!  :)
