[GNC] GnuCash 5.3 autofill headaches

[Adrien Monteleone]

Yes, they switched to a 'begins with' search. (release notes are your 
friend - they are always posted on the website and here on the mailing 
list in the release announcement)

Since the list also shows more recent descriptions first, it is now like 
4.x, but instead of only giving you an auto-fill of the last used 
similar description, you get more choices.

Regards,
Adrien
