In going to file a bug, I found an old wishlist I filed  
(https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=281124) which requests not to  
remove a payee view filter after deleting a payee.  I was about to  
modify that wishlist to say if I delete payee1 and assign the  
transactions to payee2, then payee2 should be selected and displayed in  
the payee view.  Unfortunately, if there is an active filter, then  
payee2 may not be visible.  I suppose that in the current case (select  
"Go to Payee2" from an account ledger) then it is OK to remove a payee  
filter, since you probably just didn't bother to remove it when you  
navigated away from the payee view.

Is it possible to have payee2 selected and displayed in the payee view,  
even if it is not visible on the list of payees due to a filter?   
However, even if it is possible, I'm not sure I like the idea, as it  
could easily confuse the user.
