SUMMARY
Problem in Transaction Entry Area
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. When I want to transfer from one account to another account, it seems to me that there is a problem with the “Transfer” option in the “Enter a transaction” field:
To obtain the correct entry field with the "Transfer to" field (see attached screenshot) the "Transfer" option must be the first fact after clicking on "New". If we first enter a “Deposit” or a “Withdrawal” and then a “Transfer” it is a “Transfer” field that appears (see attached screenshot) and I do not understand how to use this field.

I do not understand exactly what you are asking.  If you make a deposit or withdrawal, then the first field in the transfer form is the Payee and the second field is the category.  If you select Transfer as the type of transaction, the first field is still a Payee (which is often not filled in for a transfer) and the second field is the account to transfer to or from.  In this case, the dropdown to the left of the payee lets you select whether you are transferring TO or FROM the account specified in the second field.  

I don't know if you are being confused by the terminology, but Deposit or Withdrawal imply the direction the funds are moving, but a Transfer is always between two accounts, and it is TO one and FROM the other.
