Verified issue does not already exist?

What happened?

After changing an account name, the payee dropdown still autocompletes to the previous account name instead of the new one.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Make a new budget, make two accounts, change one account name, try to transfer into that account and see that the unchanged name populates.

Does refreshing the window fix the issue, or does it persist across sessions?

Clearing cache and refreshing the window fixed the issue!

@youngcw unless a PR actually fixed this, this bug is still open. I asked that question to confirm that the autocomplete cache was misbehaving, and it sounds like it is.
