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

[G R Hewitt]

If I put 'foo' at the end all works well.
When I take 'foo' off the problem returns.
Take out 'test' all works well.
Just for the record, I close GC and restart it on each change when testing,
just to make sure it isn't 'remembering' anything.
