[GNC] Unable to enter data in "Description" field of a Transaction

[G R Hewitt]

Good point.
I trawled through my transactions and have plenty of 'non', 'stores',
'services' etc., so typed those to see how far they'd go.
They were fine, no freezing.
I've since created new transactions with 'test', 'Test', 'Test, test,
test', restarted the program and everything works just fine.
In my case it may have been 'just one of those things' and has now cleared.
But then again ... {cue X-Files theme}.
