Mostly right: Committing the edit immediately generates a database update. If it's editing an object with a dialog box (including transactions with the Transfer Dialog) then clicking the OK button commits. For transactions in the register, it's hitting Enter, tabbing off the end, or clicking on a different transaction and then confirming the edit in the message box.
