I am using GnuCash 5.9 on Fedora Linux 41

I am in a cash account entering a new transaction.
In Description, I type "cash" and get a popup of possible completions.
I arrow key up to: Don't autocomplete
I press Tab and it uses one of the existing transactions (not what I want)
and fills in the transfer to account and dollar amount.
I delete that transaction and try again.
This time after arrowing to Don't autocomplete
I press Enter.  The popup goes away and the cursor is after "cash".
Then, when I press Tab, the transfer to account and dollar amount
are filled in (again, not what I want).
Delete and try again.
This time after arrowing to Don't autocomplete
I press Enter.  The popup goes away and the cursor is after "cash".
Now when I press Enter, nothing is entered for account or amount,
and the transaction is entered.
Is this the expected behaviour?

I was hoping that pressing Tab after Don't autocomplete
would take the cursor to the transfer account field and it
would be blank.
