SUMMARY
When more than one account in a branch matches the typed-in search term, the autocomplete should stop at the first matching parent account, not the leaf. The rationale here is that the child account is a more specific account of the generic parent, and as such, there can be many more such leafs under said parent. We should assume the generic account is likely to be chosen more frequently. In my example, I use that for denoting same categories of different currencies, but the parent account is always of my main currency, which indeed means I am more likely to assign a category to it, as I usually spend in that currency. 

Alternatively, a more sophisticated logic would preselect an account that matches the transaction's currency — and maybe even mark the other with an appropriate icon, to warn that currency conversion would be required. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create category hierarchy, where two accounts, a parent and a leaf, have the same name, but the leaf also bears and additional suffix 
2. In transaction editing dialog, type in the account name such that both are shown 

OBSERVED RESULT
The leaf is automatically selected, even though the parent account also matches.

EXPECTED RESULT
The parent account should be preselected.
