Every three months I have a split transaction with 7 splits. I will
edit that sequentially in 6 or 7 registers. I used to try concurrent
editing, but if it ever worked, it doesn't now.
At present it can only be saved from one register, but its not the one
I opened it in first, it's the one from which I saved it as a scheduled
transaction.
Even finding that register to save a complex transaction is difficult
some days.

Just to let you know that what Stan describes is a difficulty in
Gnucash, not just some awkward users with complex use cases, this is
just doing my tax.
