GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 394628
Wrong focus after editing an account
Last modified: 2018-06-29 21:22:06 UTC
If you edit an account while you have an open register, after saving the account properties the focus is in the open register, while you see the account tab. Reproduce it this way: Reproduce it this way: - gnucash --nofile - New account page - Create account a - Open a's register - Go back to accounts tab -> you have account a selected - ctl-e to modify account a properties - return Now account a isn't selected, and the cursor is in a's register: you can see that hitting tab: in the status bar you can see the tips for the register's fields. The correct behavious is that after saving the account properties the focus and the cursor goes back to account a in the account tab.
Confirmed; that's pretty awesome. I've seen this in other contexts before, but I don't recall the particular. Hoepfully this will be point to the root cause.
Copy of bug 413868: Please describe the problem: In the Transfer dialog of an expanded account, there is an autofill function which proposes the user the previously entered values in this field, corresponding to the characters the user has typed in before. If you fill in a record directly in the main window of an expanded account (i.e. double click on an accout in the main window), this autofill function works OK in the Description Field: i.e. the user types in a first character, the cursor REMAINS after that character and the program proposes a valid string. The user can accept this one, or type a second character and the proggram reacts to that etc.... Not so in the transfer dialog, there the cursor always JUMPS BACK to the first position of the Description Field. Steps to reproduce: 1. Select an account from the main window, and double click it. 2. Click on the 'Transfer' command 3. Fill in some values for the first fields and then type a first character in the Description Field. Actual results: The cursor always JUMPS BACK to the first position of the Description Field. Expected results: The cursor should REMAIN after the typed in character , so the user can continue typing in and the program can keep selecting from the known values corresponding to the string the user has ttyped in. Does this happen every time? yes Other information: The only way I found now to get around this is clicking the mouse once in the Description Field every time I have entered a character. Very annoying.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. However, you are using a version that is too old and not supported anymore. The GnuCash developers are no longer working on that version, so either this bug has already been fixed or unfortunately there will not be any bug fixes for the version that you use. The current stable version of gnucash is 2.4.0 now. In the (hopefully unlikely) case you discover the same bug in the very latest stable version, do not hesitate to REOPEN it again. Also, feel free to file other bugs or enhancement requests that you find. Thank you very much!
