David:
This sounds to me like a known GnuCash bug,
<https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797971>, "odd cursor behaviour
in register Description". Apparently, it is fixed in the nightly builds,
but I haven't checked that myself yet. The next release of GnuCash
should have the fix.
Best regards,

Replying to/Correcting my own email - sorry the right bracket is not added
as it's already there, it's just that the cursor bounces to the end of the
description prematurely...
Cheers David H.

I've just recently noticed an unusual behaviour with the Description - if
you have an existing description that ends with a right round bracket e.g.
(From dd/mm/ccyy to dd/mm/2020) and you attempt to update the To Date to
2021 by simply highlighting the last 2 characters of 2020 and overtyping,
leaving the ")" character un-highlighted as soon as 1 character is entered
a ")" is also added automatically so you end up with "202)0" instead of the
expected "2020)"
Running Gnucash 4.2 on MacOS Big Sur.
Not sure if this occurs on Linux/Win 10 but will check further and if it's
NOT an existing bug will raise a bug report for it.
