I've been trying this, and what I see is more like how Tony describes it.

But, I got interrupted by a reproduceable crash.

1) Create a new transaction.
2) Enter the first three letters of a payee that has two possibilities.
3) Hit TAB.
-- The first of the two possibilities is selected and the cursor moves
to category.
4) I don't wan't the first, I want the second so double click the payee
name to select it.
5) Hit Delete.
--  KMM crashes with Segmentation fault and no BT.
6) Repeat from top and it crashes every time.

Variation A
4a) The first is Tesco Garage, the second is Tesco.  Highlight Tesco
Garage and type 'tes'.
5a) Click Enter twice (the first just removes the payee options.
6a) To the message 'Do you want to add tes as payer/receiver ?' select No.
-- KMM crashes as above.

Variation B
1) Create a new transaction.
2) Enter the first three letters of a payee that has just one possibility.
3) Hit TAB.
4) As for Tony, move cursor to end of correct payee name and hit Enter.
-- The transaction is entered with just date and amount 0.00, with blank
payee.
