[Kmymoney-devel] A bit clueless on category selection

I've had a few looks at a bug I raised in 2011 - " 
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=275455 The KMyMoney selector list 
is not moved when the dialog it belongs to is moved ", without really 
getting anywhere.

More recently, I also found that a similar issue affecting the category 
selector when editing a transaction, so I had another go.

It appears that the drop-down list is not correctly anchored to its 
parent, but I couldn't find a way to resolve that, although I did write 
a mickey-mouse program where the tree widget was built into the UI, so 
that approach could be a possible solution.

Another way was to hide the drop-down if the focus was lost, so it 
couldn't be left behind.  Eventually, I got this to work, although it 
requires the user to hit the arrow button again to regain the drop-down.

(To Thomas) I realise that your time is restricted, but wondered if this 
latter approach might be acceptable?  Obviously, this is not a major 
issue, but it keeps nagging me.
