I occasionally look at other registers and may even do Finds before committing a transaction.

I do get a warning about wanting to save changes if I attempt to exit the register being edited, attempt to edit an already committed transaction in two different registers at once, or when exiting GnuCash with an edit in-progress. (in which case, it switches me to the affected register if I recall correctly)

I never expect to see a non-committed transaction appear elsewhere until committed. I'm not sure why anyone would.

Regards,
Adrien

That highlights a point about Gnucash function that I find annoying. It will 
let you switch registers in the middle of editing a transaction, leaving the 
changed transaction uncommitted.

Would it be an improvement to have the program prevent that. When you try to 
switch registers with an open transaction it could ask you if you want to save 
changes or cancel the editing of the transaction.

I can't think of a situation where I would like to pause in the middle of 
entering or editing a transaction in one register and go to another register.

Sometimes when I try to quit the App, it tells me I have an open transaction 
somewhere and it is always because I never committed some transaction. And at 
that point I don't remember what transaction nor if I wanted to save the 
changes.
