Bug 297223

This error occurs every time, for Investment accounts. 

If i initiate the "New Account Setup" dialog box, & fill in the relevant / desired fields, including an Initial Balance > $0, i can successfully complete the account creation. However, because the "Notes" field in the "General" tab is not present in that initial Setup dialog, i then need to Edit my new Account [let's call it "XYZ"], which opens the "Edit Account 'XYZ' dialog. If i enter ANY text into the now-available "Notes" field in the "General" tab, & then click OK, i get the error "Unable to modify account 'XYZ'. Cause: Invalid transaction id ''" ... 100% of the time.

My workaround [also works 100% of the time, but it's annoying to have to have a workaround at all], is: 
1. Go to Ledger for the newly created account & Delete the initial transaction [which was automatically created as a result of having set an initial balance in the initial dialog].
2. Relaunch the Edit account dialog ... this time after I re-type all my text entered into the "Notes" field in the "General" tab IS accepted, ie, no error msg occurs. 
3. However, of course, this way my Initial Balance is still Zero ... so i then need to go the Ledger & manually make an initial transaction.

Pls can this apparent Bug be fixed? It IS convenient being able to enter the Initial Balance during account setup, BUT currently there's no point doing that if i know that i have useful account Notes info that i will be entering into that field. 

ALSO, as well as fixing the Bug, an enhancement would be to make the "Notes" field visible & active directly in the "New Account Setup" dialog box ... this would eliminate some wasted user steps.

PS: The Bug above occurs when the new Account type is *Investment*. It does not seem to occur if I create other types. 

Thanks, Steffie.
