If indeed this is the case, that will be a major bummer for me. I put 
lots of detail in my Memos and I heavily re-use descriptions for 
often-bought items. I just upgraded and am behind on entering receipts, 
so I suppose I'm about to find out...

I suspect this feature change will take some time to iron out the kinks.

I don't use future-dated transactions, but if it doesn't even get to the 
last transaction (and ideally the next empty one) that could get quite 
annoying.
