[GNC] GnuCash 5.3 autofill headaches

[David H]

Hello John,

Sorry my bad, it's actually Big Sur version 11.7.8 on the iMac, NOT
Monterey - memories going !!!  The blank txn is my future credit card
payment - happens on the same day each month and I just fill in the amount
when I know it.  I have one in each of my 3 card accounts and multiple in
the cheque account for the other side of the splits in them.

I used Vincent's test file that he posted earlier and it seems to do the
same thing see below, the register WITHOUT focus when re-opening only
displays the blank txn plus 1. He also has multiple blank txns in that
register.  Not sure where the red line comes from as I don't see it in my
own file and I can't see a preference for it ?

Thanks David H.
