There's something a bit odd about how GnuCash handles text entry in
all fields.  I think it's due to the way it auto-fills the field when
you enter just one or two characters.

On my system most of the issues occur with the Transfer column, it
sometimes locks up in the same way that you're describing for the
Description field.
