In order to enter a variation on a paycheck, I:
It all looks good
I make sure the just created transaction is highlighted, click on the paycheck button. Adjust the numbers. Save the paycheck.
Wow, my original paycheck got overwritten and the highlighted one is empty.
Can anyone duplicate this? It happened twice in a row...

Did you change the date? In my experience, a copied transaction, when pasted retains the old one's date, and it has to be manually changed. Of course, I started doing paychecks before there was a specific transaction type paycheck, so for me those transactions are just recurring deposits with transfers to all kinds of accounts ...
No, this was an additional paycheck on the same date as a normal one.
More data - if I save the copied transaction before modifying the paycheck information, it works fine. If I modify other information besides the paycheck information such as the memo, it works fine too. It's only modifying the paycheck info which circumvents the transaction save button with it's own "Enter" button when finished. This seems to cause a problem on an unsaved transaction.
