Two major annoyances in v4 that weren't an issue for me in v3. Both have to do with simple check register entries. I figured I'd check here to see if anyone knows of a way to deal with them.

1. Switching a Category/Account when entering a transaction. In version 3 there was a way to get a popup menu from the category/account field. Now you have to go all the way up to the menu bar and go 2-levels deep to get a list of choices. If you know the name of what you're looking for you can type it, but I'd still like a quicker way to browse throw all the choices so I'm sure to pick the best match. Any thoughts on how to get a quicker popup? Right-clicking in the field doesn't work.

2. As soon as I enter the payee when adding a new entry, it automatically populates all the fields with the same values I used last time I entered a transition for that person/place. This one is a major PITA for me, as my transactions are never the same. Especially deposits from multiple checks (using splits). They simply aren't going to be the same as last time. Is there a way to disable this feature?

Thanks.
