            Bug ID: 317511
           Summary: cannot edit transaction from ledger view after
                    double-clicking on category in category list
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: kmymoney4
           Version: git master
          Platform: Compiled Sources
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: moritz at bunkus.org

This is kmymoney 4.6.90-ddfff2c8af with KDE 4.10.1 (KDE itself was installed
from Arch Linux packages, kmymoney is self-compiled from Git).

First, I go to the list of categories. From there I double-click on any
category that has at least one transaction. kmymoney then shows me the list of
all transactions in this category in the ledgers view. So far so good.

>From this view it would be very, very helpful if I could actually edit the
transactions shown. However, the context menu has "new" and "edit" disabled (I
can "delete", "duplicate", "move...", "mark...", but that's not what I want).

My use case is editing quite a number of transactions that all belong to a
certain category, to be more specific, to add information for myself in the
memo field. This is rather cumbersome at the moment. I have to:

1. bring up the list of all transactions in the category as described above,
2. find the first one that I haven't modified yet,
3. go to the normal ledger view for the account the transaction was made from &
find the transaction (at least there's an option for that in the context menu),
4. edit the transaction,
5. rinse & repeat.

Steps 2 and 3 are completely unnecessary and time-consuming, especially when
you're talking about editing ~100 transactions. Therefore I'd like to be able
to edit the transaction, or at least certain fields like the memo.

The same applies to the list of transactions them I'm coming from a payee.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
See details.

1. Go to list of categories
2. Double-click on category
3. Select any transaction and realize you cannot edit it
