[GNC] GnuCash 5.3 autofill headaches

[Adrien Monteleone]

I just upgraded to 5.3-1 on Monterey and it works fine.

I did have to accept the suggestion from the list and then Tab but it 
populated with an autofill of memo, amounts, et cetera from my last 
transaction with the same Description.

I'll add here that I use GnuCash with old paper and pen habits, that is, 
I use the 'Description' field as strictly a 'Payee/Payor' field. Actual 
descriptive information I put in the Notes and/or Memo fields. (Notes 
for the whole transaction, Memos for things specific to a split) That 
usage greatly simplifies my Description list. It may not suit everyone 
of course.

Regards,
Adrien
