            Bug ID: 339474
           Summary: No SPLIT available in Interest field in Dividend
                    Transactions
           Product: kmymoney4
           Version: 4.6.4
          Platform: unspecified
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: mikecalder at optusnet.com.au

My problem relates to New MANUAL entries using the Transaction Input Form when
I have my Investment account open in the 'ledger' view.

I will now refer to the KDE Help Center Version 4.13.3 - Investment
Transactions page.

At the top of the page is a graphic which shows 'Buy Shares' in the Activity
field. It also shows the SPLIT icon for both the 'Fees' and 'Interest' fields

At the bottom of the page is the following:

>>>
Interest
 This is how you enter an interest or dividend payment from an investment. As
with fees, if you enter a category, then a field will be shown to the right
where you can enter the amount. You can also use the split transaction feature,
if required.
>>>

When I open my Investment Account in ledger view I have the following
anomalies/bugs in the Transaction Input Form when the Activity field selection
is as follows:

1. Buy shares        NO Interest field
2. Sell shares        NO Interest field
3. Dividend        Interest field without SPLIT Icon
4. Reinvest dividend    NO Account field (as expected) - Interest field without
SPLIT Icon
5. Yield        Interest field without SPLIT Icon
6. Add,Remove & Split    Only Activity, Security and Memo fields (as expected)
7. Interest income    Interest field without SPLIT Icon

Therein lies the problem - Interest field cannot accommodate splits.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Investment in ledger view and use Transaction Input Form
2. Select Dividend in Activity field
3. Interest field has no SPLIT availability (No SPLIT Icon)

Actual Results:  
ALSO as stated in details above the following may also be anomalies/bugs in the
Transaction Input Form when the Activity field selection is as follows:
a. Buy shares        NO Interest field - I gather it is not needed
b. Sell shares        NO Interest field
c. Dividend            Interest field without SPLIT Icon
d. Reinvest dividend    NO Account field (as expected) - Interest field without
SPLIT Icon
e. Yield                  Interest field without SPLIT Icon
f. Add,Remove & Split    Only Activity, Security and Memo fields (as expected)
g. Interest income          Interest field without SPLIT Icon 

Expected Results:  
a. Buy shares   NO Interest field - I gather it is not needed
b. Sell shares   Interest field should be present and Split icon show when
category is selected.
c. Dividend      Interest field should be present and Split icon show when
category is selected.
d. Reinvest      Interest field no SPLIT Icon (Unchanged)
e. Yield            Interest field should be present and Split icon show when
category is selected.
f. Interest income  Interest field should be present and Split icon show when
category is selected.

My previous version of KMyMoney (can't remember version but fairly recent)
produced Expected Results.
This is a Major Feature as it is impossible to enter the parts of a fully or
partially franked dividend. These are:
Dividend Income (Unfranked)
Dividend Income (Franked)
Dividend Income (Imputation Credit)
