[GNC] Account Name Matching

[Greg Feneis]

As I recall, this issue was reported a good while back on a
GnuCash version.  I don't recall the version or the OS it was on.  Or
something similar, where a text field couldn't be edited, and cursor
couldn't be manipulated.   I forgot what the solution was.  It seems like
the work around was to place the cursor into a different field, edit that,
then place the text cursor back into the problem field.  Sorry this isn't
very helpful, but maybe it will jog the memory of someone more capable?




Kind regards,

Greg Feneis
