Summary:                    Bad UI behavior in Payee field when entering
transactions
Description: 
I just updated to 0.6.0rc2 from the previous stable Grisbi version in
Gentoo.  Overall the UI is nicer, but there are a couple of serious
regressions regarding the Payee field which cause frustration while
entering transactions.

1.  If I'm entering a new transaction and typing the name of an
already-known payee, the box will automatically fill in with the most
likely Payee matching the letters that I've already typed.  A drop-down box
will show all of the matching Payees below.  The problem is this: if I hit
'tab' to choose the Payee which is already auto-filled into the box, it
replaces that Payee with some random one which doesn't even match what I've
already typed.  In order to select the desired Payee, I must press the
down-arrow to select the desired Payee from the list of all possibilities,
then hit 'tab' when the desired one is highlighted.  This is a regression;
in the previous version of Grisbi this worked properly.

2.  A similar (maybe the same bug) is even worse for transactions with new
Payees.  If I'm entering a transaction with a new Payee, the only way that
I have found to actually enter the information is to type the complete name
of the new Payee, then press Enter (closing the transaction entry box),
then re-select the transaction in the log by double clicking with the
mouse, then fill out the rest of the information.  I should just be able to
hit 'tab' and continue filling out the transaction details.  But when I do
this, Grisbi again overwrites the Payee that I just typed in with a
seemingly randomly selected one.  This is very frustrating.

Thanks for the great Free software, I do like Grisbi better than the other
personal finance apps that I've tried.  But these UI problems are making me
pull my hair out. :)

These bugs have been fixed in the final release but I do not know if a
package is available for gentoo. If this is not the case, it should arrive
soon.
