That's not quite the case.  Once you've deselected the errant one(s) and 
the remainder are still highlighted, hold down the shift key and click 
on one of them to give focus.  If you're lucky and choose the right one, 
you are now able to edit them.  If you're not, that one will get 
deselected, but CTL-select will reselect it.  I think it's the last one 
of the batch you selected.  Either way, you definitely don't need to 
completely unselect all transactions.

Yes, that was deliberate, but I can't now remember why I left that.  All 
fields that may be edited are cleared except the account field (for some 
reason).  So the stock needs to be edited to enable the Enter button.  I 
think I may need to revisit this area.

Ah, well spotted!  I suspect that more than a few individual files also 
need attention.  Thanks.
