I also like this feature, a nice surprise when I started entering a new txn and it popped up - shows me where I've rearranged payee details inadvertently. Being as pedantic as I am, it's now given me extra work because I now feel obliged to go back and sort out the differences :-)
Thanks to John and all the other developers / translators / etc for the continuing efforts bringing new features to Gnucash which continues to improve, albeit with the odd minor hiccup here and there. Thanks also to those that are quick to jump in and help with any issues that do crop up, we have a great user support list here also. One complaint - Get Quotes on version 5 (Windows / macOS / linux) no longer allows me sufficient time to make the necessary instant coffee first thing in the morning, I barely get coffee and sugar into the mug and it's finished already. Seriously though, I love the speed of it now - good work on the rewrite in c++. Thanks again David H.
