[GNC] Entering a sell in a stock account has magic number changer

[David G. Pickett]

I see the same divide by 100 when I duplicate an old transaction, split, and enter a value, then leave that cell.  It is never proper to modify inputs without a dialog except to reformat trailing zeros after the decimal, add comma thousands separators and similar presentation artifacts.

Plus, if I enter a value and tab or shift-tab, it divides it by 100.  If I enter a number, I expect it to tay put unless there is a dialog asking my permission to change it!!

I am trying to enter my RMD sales of securities, and when I enter the value, price or shares it gets divided by 100 gratuitously with no dialog, and if I adjust all three numbers and accept a price change, it divides other numbers gratuitously.  This is very counter-intuitive, frustrating, time-wasting!  If the 3 numbers do not agree and I choose a price recalculate, my entered shares and value should be unchanged!  This is such a bad upgrade from past behaviors!
