That highlights a point about Gnucash function that I find annoying. It will let you switch registers in the middle of editing a transaction, leaving the changed transaction uncommitted.

Would it be an improvement to have the program prevent that. When you try to switch registers with an open transaction it could ask you if you want to save changes or cancel the editing of the transaction. 

I can't think of a situation where I would like to pause in the middle of entering or editing a transaction in one register and go to another register. 

Sometimes when I try to quit the App, it tells me I have an open transaction somewhere and it is always because I never committed some transaction. And at that point I don't remember what transaction nor if I wanted to save the changes.
