Ok, I have removed all the kmymoney references from /usr/... "find" and also
any "*kmm*" files that also appear in the git tree.  I then did a "git pull",
make, "make uninstall", "make install".
So, I think this is a clean install.  This is what I see:
Steps:
1. open a ledger for an investment account (say foo) with an attached checking
account (foo (Brokerage))
2. Click "Edit"
3. For "Activity" select "Dividend". At this point the "Account" entry is set
to "foo (Brokerage)"
4. In the "Interest" entry enter "foo (Brokerage)"
5. In the second "interest" entry enter an amount, say 10. At this point the
"Enter" button activates.
6. Click the "Enter" button.

On my system this results in a ledger entry which shows $0.00  0.000
If I edit this entry I find "Interest" is "Split transaction" and the split has
two entries which are the same except the sign of one entry is negative while
the other is not.
I have found two ways to fix this:
1. if at step 3,  insert 3.1: clear the "Account" entry and reenter "foo
(Brokerage)" .  Step 6 will then give the expected answer.

2. The bad entry can be edited by:
a. deleting the negative split entry and
b. deleting the "Account" entry and re-entering the "Account" entery, i.e. "foo
(Brokerage)"
c. Clicking the "Enter" button.
