Description Chris 2017-03-10 15:24:58 UTC 
You can wreak havoc by changing an account commodity.

Steps to reproduce:
- Create any accounts of different commodities
  eg Bank1-GBP, Bank2-USD
  or Bank-USD, Stock-MSFT
- Create any transaction between these two accounts
- From any of these accounts, EDIT ACCOUNT > COMMODITY - change Commodity to anything else (eg EUR AAPL etc)

You can create further transactions, amend existing ones. They will use the new commodity, but price table is not updated.

I've also managed to damage its internal logic leading to cases whereby pressing ENTER while editing a transaction does NOT update it. Pressing ENTER does *nothing* - cursor remains as it is. Can't reproduce this one particular behavior.

My suggested fix:
- Disallow changing the account commodity if it contains any splits.
