Description Jonathan Kamens 2003-06-18 12:31:13 UTC 
If I start up the general ledger, enter the description of a transaction
I've entered before, hit tab to complete the default values for that
transaction, then hit the cancel button, it inserts a blank transaction at
the date I had entered for the transaction I canceled.  Cancel should
really cancel, not enter a blank transaction.
Comment 1 Derek Atkins 2003-06-18 19:51:53 UTC 
Wow, that's broken.  Yea, it shouldn't do that...
Comment 2 Chris Shoemaker 2006-03-16 20:50:02 UTC 
Wow, that's (still) broken.  :)

Confirmed still in 1.9.2; changing component to Register
Comment 3 Julian Gilbey 2006-06-06 21:39:21 UTC 
Also, if in the general register, I move my cursor to the final blank entry and then away from it, it also creates a blank entry.  This is with version 1.9.6.
Comment 4 Charles Day 2009-01-21 17:59:54 UTC 
This no longer occurs in trunk when pressing Cancel.

However, the bug described in comment 3 still happens. A separate bug report has been filed with a more extensive description of this behavior; see bug 346159.
Comment 5 Charles Day 2009-03-11 19:40:32 UTC 
Does this problem still exist in 2.2.9? It is fixed in trunk, but whatever fixed it may not have been backported.
Comment 6 Charles Day 2009-07-10 16:13:25 UTC 
This is definitely fixed in 2.3.x. Unknown whether it is fixed before that, so marking as fixed in 2.3.0.
