[GNC] Error when editing transfer for transaction

That error message means that transaction has a pending edit in an account
other than the register you are currently viewing.  The way to resolve this
is to move the highlight to another account in that transaction and Jump to
that account, then press Enter.  That will commit the pending edit, unless
you have additional accounts and you did not select the one with the
pending edit.

Another trick you can try is to select File > Save, and see what error
message appears, as that message will name the account register containing
the pending edit.

If you have a cat that likes to walk across your keyboard there may be an
unintended edit to remove before pressing Enter.
