[GNC] 4.10 cannot be opened on macOS Big Sur w/Apple Silicon

[David H]

Sorry NOT the Description column, it's actually typing in the Transfer
column that causes the issue.  I can select an account by using the drop
down and scrolling down and manually selecting an entry and this allows me
to add a new txn.  It's starting to type something in the Transfer account
column which usually triggers the matching to existing accounts.  When this
happens Gnucash just drops out and disappears.

Cheers David H.
