[GNC] GnuCash 5.3 autofill headaches

[Dustin Henning]

And it's worse.  Guess I REALLY should have read the release notes.  Now 
notes doesn't autofiill the old way anyymore so I have to manually type 
even more.  My search still isn't begins with, either, so my list is 
still extremely long.  I guess maybe they missed that on Mac.  At least 
everybody else is happy with the improvements.  I'm used to being an 
outlier, so it is what it is.
