[GNC] Change account in Transfer column - how?

[Gyle McCollam]

Michael,
You can't delete the debit or credit associated with that specific account while in that account, but you can change it to another account.  If you change it to another account, when you commit by using the enter key, it will disappear from the current account (provided the entry you changed was for this account) and be placed in the "new" account.


Thank You,
Gyle McCollam

I thought so, it's a bug that I have reported before (27 Nov 2021).
When I click on the arrow-up or arrow-down nothing happens.

My original problem (in November 2021) was that I didn't get the list
of accounts to select from when entering a new tranaction:-

    I've probably doing something silly somewhere but I can't spot what it
    is at the moment.

    While entering transactions into GnuCash today it sometimes offers no
    account in the 'Transfer' column so anything I do ends up in an
    'Imbalance' account.

    The up arrow and down arrow do nothing when it's in this state.

    The issue comes and goes and I can't see any pattern to it, I've never
    seen this problem before though.

    I'm running GnuCash version 4.4 on xubuntu Linux version 21.10.



What I am seeing now is essentially the same problem, the drop-down
list (or up) of accounts doesn't appear.
