To describe better (and it happens with both payee and category) as you
start typing a Payee name, a dropdown list appears with all payees of
which what you've typed so far is a substring. Once that list is
empty, what you have typed cannot be an existing payee. Normally, KMM
waits until you hit enter or tab out of that field to ask if you want
to create a new payee. Here, as soon as the list of possible payees is
empty, I get TWO popups asking if I want to create the new payee.
And, as I just posted to IRC, this is a Wayland issue. All versions (I
was trying to git bisect) work fine under xorg. In addition, under
Wayland, all Appimages I have tried fail to launch with a symbol not
found error (mesa related) but I will need to restart in Wayland to
capture the exact error message.
At least it's not a regression, like I first suspected. Wayland does
seem to have gotten a lot better since the last time I tried it, but it
still have some issues.
