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

[Adrien Monteleone]

I just tested a transaction with your exact 'Car Annual Test' 
description and it worked fine. And yes, I exited and restarted GnuCash 
just to be sure. I'm on Monterey 12.6.7 with a Late 2014 Mini, however.

I'm curious, maybe there is something wrong with just the transaction 
itself? (since you've found 'test' isn't really the issue)

Maybe try this:

1. add 'foo' as you just noted so that original transaction doesn't freeze.

2. create a new transaction with the same details with "Car Annual Test" 
as the description.

3. Observe freezing or not.

If not, then it is that one transaction.

If using the XML backend, maybe open it and do a search for the 
transaction and compare the guts of it against the second one you created.

If it still freezes, try "Car Test Annual" - moving the position of 
'test' up, and see what happens. (the 'foo' should have done it, but...)

Oh, and one question: is this just a normal manually entered 
transaction, or was it generated by the Business Features?

Regards,
Adrien
