Hoping that someone is interested, I'm coming back to this issue.

Whilst my example is not very likely, it is not totally unrealistic.  It also
can affect other types than the 'add shares' I first noticed.

When I've been trying to tie up loose ends in the UI, I've tried to show only
the necessary widgets.  In this case, however, when attempting to change to an
'add shares', or to 'reinvest', not all widgets are shown, so a clean edit is
not possible, without a lot of jiggery-pokery.

Should the app be able to cope with such an issue, or is zapping the
transaction an acceptable solution?
