The issue that generated this report was that a OFX update failed to handle a correction transaction where the Fidelity was adding a small amout to fix a miss reported dividend. I thought that all I needed to do was to make the transaction look like the a downloaded dividend transaction that "appeared" to be correct, in that the amount appeared in both the investment account and in the brokerage and the dollar balance matched Fidelity's.

Let me try to get this correct. We are talking about two things here and 
I filed this report about only one of them, the issue with the Edit/New 
command in KMM not getting what (I think) is desired when Enter is 
pressed in the first screen shot.  In that case I did not use the 
account name category, but rather "dividend".  Also, I need to also 
point out that if I remove and re-enter the "Account", I do get (I 
think) a correct entry which shows the amount in both the investment and 
the Brokerage Ledgers.  This, I think, has nothing to do with the reason 
I tried to make the entry in the first place.

As to the correction, I have not, and don't intended to file a report on 
that as I am not sure if the correction came from a QIF or an OFX 
import.  When I look at the OFX of the transaction it does not mention 
the security at all and yet I clearly remember a security reference in 
the transaction.  Also Fidelity does not "ID" the transaction as a 
correction and gives it an ID (which contains the date) that indicates 
it is a new transaction.
