[GNC] Clearing filters on account registers

[Adrien Monteleone]

In any register, if a filter is applied, the right end of the Status Bar 
(top or bottom of the tab, depending on a preference) will say 
'Filtered' to alert you of that fact.

If that is visible, then simple click View > Filter by..., and clear or 
update the filter to match the other computer.

Regards,
Adrien
