Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

While entering a transaction, type the name of a Payee that doesn't exist:

If, at this point, you tab to the next field, the right things happen -- the Payee is created and selected for the new transaction.

However, if you press Enter (a logical interaction since Create Payee is the highlighted option), the new Payee is created but the first Payee in the list is selected:

If you now tab away, that selected payee overwrites the name of the new Payee in the new transaction:

What error did you receive?

No response

Where are you hosting Actual?

Docker

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Other

Operating System

Windows 11

This issue may have been fixed by reverting to our old autocomplete input. Can you test out https://actualbudget.netlify.app and confirm that is the case?

Yes -- the behavior there is that pressing Enter creates the Payee and dismisses the Payee list, leaving the correct Payee in the transaction.
