Damn users can't even do a decent bug report!

With the kmy main window not maximized:
  1. Open the ledger for an Investment account. 
  2. Create a new transaction.
  3. Select a Security.
  4. Choose Dividend - the fee category becomes hidden.
  5. With the mouse, grab the kmy window edge and resize it - the fee category
_and_ the fee amount become visible.

  1. Open the ledger for an Investment account. 
  2. Create a new transaction.
  3. Select a Security.
  4. Select Dividend.
  5. Select an asset account.
  6. For the income category, click the split transaction button.
  7. In the split editor, enter a income category and  positive number in row
one for the dividend.
  8 In the split editor, enter an expense category and a negative number in row
two for the fee.
  9. Click OK to close the split editor.
10. Save the transaction.
11. Edit the transaction you just entered - the dividend income is not split,
but has the amount you entered in step 7. The fee field has the category and
amount you entered for the 2nd row of the split in step 8.

When I enter a new transaction as Interest Income, the fee field is not
displayed unless I do the window resize trick, and in that case it is not
saved. I can dig a bit more into this scenario tonight.

Thanks for all your work.
