That is not as easy as it might look in the first place as KMyMoney tries to
hide the sign in the amount field: In order to determine a deposit or a
withdrawal one thus needs to know, which account type the other side of the
transaction references to. In this case here, this essential piece of
information is missing. One could certainly argue, that the information could
be extracted from what is present and update the display accordingly. One could
also argue, in case the program does not know it, it treats it as transfer. We
have decided to go the latter route.

Since this part of the code has to deal with a bunch of corner-cases, I really
don't want to touch it right now as it is otherwise not broken but works as
designed. The design might not be in line with your view.

Example: what should be done, in case the amount is zero? No way to determine
if it's a deposit or withdrawal anymore. And yes, I receive such transactions
while downloading from my bank. Plus, these are the only transactions that are
allowed to have a single split to balance.

I would suggest to mark this one as a wishlist item and set the topic to
something like "Unassigned transactions should be displayed as
deposit/withdrawal not transfers". BTW, patches are very welcome.
