I just made a reply to your comment #1, which collided with #2, but here's my
response anyway.

I prefer to think of it as a feature, rather than a bug!  The change was made
deliberately, rather than by accident.  It came about following discovery of
several inconsistencies where the Enter/OK was not enabled when it should have
been, or vice versa.  See Bug 314955.

I did flag the issue there, and canvassed -
"
It would be good to know what fields should be regarded as mandatory for
transaction entry.  I don't know if some looseness is allowed, because of
importing, but then it is quite strictly laid out for investments.

I can see the cause of some of the symptoms I noticed, but don't know where to
draw the line."

As I got no response, I went ahead.

I couldn't really see why a payee name would not be required, but I'd be
interested to know your view.
"

So far as the last sentence is concerned, I see now your issue, and will look
into it again.
