[GNC] Change account in Transfer column - how?

[david whiting]

Yes, I seem to recall having an issue like that a while ago with an
older version, and it might have been version 4.4, but it has been
fixed for quite some time now. Chris, could you upgrade to a more
recent version? At the very least you should be able to test this by
installing the flatpak version. See this page
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Flatpak and go down to the section
called "Regular releases at flathub.org".
