Autofill usually allows you to enter a transaction description without
editing. It's at the top of the pick list. Doing that should avoid
generating the splits if the last time the description was used there
were splits. Another alternative I've found is, before entering any
numbers for the transaction, to right-click then "remove all splits"
from that popup menu; that makes it a simple transaction. Don't know
if/where that's documented, but I found it by trial and error. Same
behavior in 5.11 and 5.12 in Windows 11 and Linux Mint.

8. Re: Split Transactions ([email protected])
Autofill has *always* duplicated all splits in a memorized
transaction, which is what OP is displeased with. In other words, if I
have a transaction with the description "My Complicated Transaction"
with 17 entries on it, the next time I start typing "My ", it will
duplicate all 17 previous entries with their amounts. OP doesn't want
the duplication, but unfortunately, that's not how that feature works.

I have never seen behavior anything like that.
Describe the process you are using to enter a new "split" transaction.
Start from the first step. For example (it might be) enter the account
of ONE of the accounts of the split just as if not a "split
transaction". But instead of entering a second account, hit "split".

PS: If my example first step NOT what you are doing. might be the
problem
PPS: Unless you have chosen "Journal Mode" for entering all
transactions, split, or not
