I can't enter non-ACSII characters in the Account name in Gnucash 
4.4/MacOS 11.2.3 either (viking is having the issue on Windows GC 4.4). 
Normally on the Mac, OPTION-"u", "u" should enter ü (u-umlaut), but when 
I type the "u" after the OPTION-"u", a small text entry popup is 
displayed that covers the New Account popup's Help button, and a single 
"u" (without umlaut) appears in the text entry popup.

After that text entry popup appears, all text entry goes into that 
popup. The Cancel button on the New Account popup still works to get out 
of it.

Maybe GTK is grabbing the keyboard codes before the normal keyboard text 
entry processing is done on them.
