What happened?

When entering a transaction with CMD+Enter on the desktop app for macOS, the content in Notes, Payment, and Deposit is ignored unless I switch to a different field (i.e. Tab or Shift+Tab). This doesn't happen with Payee and Category, possibly due to the dropdown menu "confirming" the selection.

It works without any issues when I click Add or press Enter instead, i.e. I don't need to switch to another field before adding the transaction.

Expected: After entering a value in the mentioned fields above (e.g. 9.90 in Payment) without switching to a different field, the transaction should be added with the value in relevant field (e.g. 9.90 in Payment instead of 0.00).
Actual: The transaction is added without the data in those fields.
Error message: no error messages.

How can we reproduce the issue?

  1. Go to an account page.
  2. Click Add New or press T on your keyboard.
  3. Enter a value in Notes or Payment or Deposit without switching to a different field.
  4. Press CMD+Enter on your keyboard.
  5. Expected: Transaction is added with the data in one of those fields.
    Actual: Transaction is added without the data in one of those fields.

Here are a few example outputs:

Starting from the bottom, the entries are added in the following exact order:

  1. Data in Payment via CMD+Enter -> doesn't work
  2. Data in Payment via Enter -> works
  3. Data in Payment via clicking Add -> works
  4. Data in Notes via CMD+Enter -> doesn't work
  5. Data in Notes via Enter -> works
  6. Data in Notes via clicking Add -> works
  7. Data in Deposit via CMD+Enter -> doesn't work
  8. Data in Deposit via Enter -> work
  9. Data in Deposit via clicking Add -> work

Hope this makes sense 😄
