[GNC] Scheduled transactions do not appear in the register until <enter> is pressed

I thought one was already opened. (but I admit I didn't search for it)

If I recall correctly, it has to do with refreshing the register view.

This seems to happen with registers that are left open at the last close 
and which re-open before the Since Last Run dialog fires.

Though hitting [Enter] works to refresh, so does closing and opening the 
affected registers, as does View > Refresh. (CMD/CTRL+R)

Other not so great options would be to close registers you have SX for 
each time you close GnuCash; (you'll end up opening them after the SX 
fires) or don't close GnuCash at all and just get in the habit of 
refreshing; (of course, then you also have to get in the habit of 
manually firing Since Last Run) or, go back to the previous SX settings 
which didn't cause this.

As the function to refresh a register/report exists, I'm betting this 
falls more under 'enhancement' for an auto-refresh case.

Adrien
