[GNC] Account Name Matching

[Kalpesh Patel]

On Windows 10, I use the application icon in taskbar to close and then open
the application window which returns back the focus and am able to do
subsequent data entry as desired. I gotten into that situation in multiple
instance where applications main window refuses to get attention or when a
smaller non-modal window disappear behind the app's larger window. Not sure
if there something similar in your distro or not but I suspect there should
be. On a GUI desktop most distro's have a virtual desktop manipulation app,
that should allow you to do simple operation to the main application window
such as close, open, move, resize, etc. I think GNC uses GTK libraries
underneath it so that quirk might be in there rather than in GNC itself.

I had a similar issue a few days ago. Unfortunately, I don't know what I did
to get out of it. I found I could highlight characters but backspace and
delete would not work. (I could replace them however) Not even all numerical
keys worked either. I don't think the account name was involved though. I
was in credit/debit fields.

 

Using 4.7 on BigSur.

 

Regards,

Adrien
