I'll add that I did not test a brand new non-auto-filled transaction, but I seem to recall once having it commit as-is (with the inevitable Imbalance assignment) on an errant click into another transaction.

While I use standard memos that auto-complete about 95% of my splits' account assignments for me, I don't think that is what kept restoring the account name when I clicked out, because I also tested changing the memo text to jibberish and it still reverted.

Regards,
Adrien

I just tested this on 5.12 with a detailed auto-filled transaction, making test edits and clicking into another transaction.

I deleted the memo, account, and amount from a split line but didn't use the 'delete split' function.

The result was deleting the split, with an added one to the Imbalance account for the missing amount. (the auto-fill transaction was balanced)

Removing any combination of Memo/Account/Amount but not all three, resulted in the changes being reverted.

In each test, clicking into a different transaction *committed* the improperly edited one. It did not go away.

The only way to do that is either let it commit and delete it, or use Transaction > Cancel Transaction or the Cancel button.
