[GNC] Accidentally Typing in the Transfer Column

[Adrien Monteleone]

I just tested this on 5.12 with a detailed auto-filled transaction, 
making test edits and clicking into another transaction.

I deleted the memo, account, and amount from a split line but didn't use 
the 'delete split' function.

The result was deleting the split, with an added one to the Imbalance 
account for the missing amount. (the auto-fill transaction was balanced)

Removing any combination of Memo/Account/Amount but not all three, 
resulted in the changes being reverted.

In each test, clicking into a different transaction *committed* the 
improperly edited one. It did not go away.

The only way to do that is either let it commit and delete it, or use 
Transaction > Cancel Transaction or the Cancel button.

Regards,
Adrien
