[GNC] Account Selection in Register

[Adrien Monteleone]

I'm using 4.7 on Big Sur, but either it works correctly, or the 
preference doesn't work at all. (you don't *need* 4.8 or 4.8-2 on Big 
Sur, you *do* need 4.8-2 on Monterey for GnuCash to display its windows 
correctly)

I'm not certain what 'list' it isn't supposed to 'raise' and where.

I was guessing that this would stop a list from popping up as I typed an 
account name in the account field while entering a transaction, but 
regardless of the preference setting, a list comes up as soon as I start 
to type.

But everything works just fine otherwise for me.

Regards,
Adrien
