[GNC] GnuCash 5.3 autofill headaches

[Adrien Monteleone]

I think 5.3 shortened the list and gave priority to most recently used, 
as well as added a Do Not Fill option at the top.

I understand keyboards vary, but you can use the arrow keys to navigate 
the list (or keep typing to narrow it down)

Regards,
Adrien
