Maybe it's another one of those features that were broken during refactoring. I will check.

Looking at https://docs.kde.org/stable4/en/extragear-office/kmymoney/firsttime.mainwindow.html one can see, that the 'main window' is the whole application window including menu, tool button, the application area and the status line at the bottom.

The Home View is one of the selectable views. Using 'main window' for the Home View is certainly not correct.

Whenever I refer to a specific view to be selected via one of the icons in section C (see picture in manual) I use the name under the icon and append the word 'view'. So sticking with 'Home View' is just fine.

Checking the historical forecast I stepped on another bug. Will create a bug entry and fix it.
