Description jmadero 2020-08-10 15:51:12 UTC 
SUMMARY
Removing focus off of KMyMoney while in the middle of putting a transaction in results in incorrect value being entered without pushing enter.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start a new transaction
2. Start putting a value into the "Amount" field - do not finalize the value (for instance, if the value is meant to be 1,000.45, put in 100 -- do not push enter)
3. Change focus to another window

OBSERVED RESULT
Value of "100.00" will be automatically put in amount field.

EXPECTED RESULT
Value should not be automatically entered, instead when you return to KMyMoney window the cursor should be where you left off (100) and allow you to finish putting in your number.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Bodhi Linux
(available in About System)

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
It is extremely common to have to bounce between windows when upkeeping financial records. The most common scenario is when someone is putting in a larger value and they have to go back to their bank website (or credit card website) to remember the entire number. Having KMyMoney auto enter the value creates unnecessary extra steps of having to re-enter the value field, remove extraneous ".00" and then finish putting in the value.

Can I +1 this? 

:) 

This happens to me also when bouncing between ledgers. I go to see check one Credit card and come back to my bank and the amount has been entered. It can get confusing as sometimes, the date is also an older date (maybe I had to enter a previous transaction) and now there is a transaction out there with the wrong amount and wrong date.. lol

Don't modify amount upon switch to other application

Only do so if focus is moved to other widget in the application.
