Description BlipBertMon 2019-02-12 11:27:58 EST
some dangling half finished stray cut and paste on an account name has created a pop-up dialog asking me to "confirm creation of ..." some mangled account name. 

It follows me everywhere. ( i.e.  repeatedly appears, while I'm working on other transactions. 

  I can't find which transaction in which account is triggering this pop-up.

   searching even is of no help. even knowing the mangled literal, 
     b/c I guess the pending change has actually to happen.

  no way to trace back to where/what account edit this mangled account name was entered at.. death-spiral possible - until can't even select any transaction without the pop up blocking any attempted interaction.

     pop-up has a one-way modal 'CONFIRM'? -only effect...  
      'CANCEL' doesn't flush state preventing recurrence of pop-up.
 
      discard transaction? cancel? save transaction??
       unclear which transaction this stray pop-up is referring to.


   work around: successively finish and close transactions being edited and perhaps dozens of open accounts, a significant de-rail, until the pop-up ceases to appear.
