Hi. I'm still learning my way around GnuCash; so forgive this beginner
question. When I go to enter a new transaction into a register and what
I am entering into the Description field matches an earlier transaction,
GnuCash will automatically fill in the amount and the split details
exactly as it was recorded previously for that earlier transaction.
For example, let's say my earlier transaction had the Description
"Walmart - Sacramento" with a Tot Charge amount of $154.26, and the
Split consisted of 9 entries. If a couple weeks later I go to enter a
new transaction with the same Description ("Walmart - Sacramento") and I
hit the Tab key to type in whatever new Tot Charge amount I want to
record, what happens is that GnuCash will automatically fill-in that
same earlier $154.26 amount before I have any chance to enter my new Tot
Charge amount. Worse yet, it fills in the 9 Split entries for the new
transaction to match that earlier transaction as well.
Not only is this annoying; but GnuCash gets bogged down and slows my
system down while it tries to recall the Split details of that earlier
transaction. Is there a preference setting somewhere to stop GnuCash
from trying to AutoComplete my new transactions with the details of my
earlier transactions?
Tom
