At least two of us users have been confused when editing / fixing Vendor or Customer field in Invoices or Bills (and created somewhat of a mess) I would request for the next GnuCash update: All fields in the Invoice's "Invoice Information" & "Billing Information" panels, and in the Bill's "Bill Information" & "Billing Information" panels be locked, and maybe, grayed out. That would force using the "Edit Invoice" or "Edit Bill" features in the top ribbon, which work exactly as users (at least 2 of us....) would expect.

Now I have all of that data under one customer and a customer entry now called "Reuse me" for next time I have a new customer. I see Derek said its by design, but it caught me too. I was not aware that the menu entry "Edit Invoice" had different powers to choosing "View/Edit Invoice" from a search panel.
