--- Comment #1 from Thomas Baumgart <tbaumgart at kde.org> ---
The design of KMyMoney at this point is to always operate on the next
occurrence of a schedule. In some instances, the preview shows more than one
occurrence of a schedule and I agree, that it is confusing that trying to skip
the third occurrence suddenly skips the first.

On the other hand, what you try to achieve is more of an exception to a
schedule but the current implementation does not support exceptions to
schedules.

Technically, KMyMoney keeps the date of the next transaction and the recurring
period. So the second and further occurrences do not exist on file but are
generated for display purposes only. So skipping an occurrence simply forwards
the date of the next transaction to the one following.

What we could do is to make sure that we always present 'Operation on *next*
occurrence of schedule' in the tooltips and descriptions. This seems to be a
more or less easy task. The second best would be to disable the operations on
any but the next occurrence of a schedule, which is more of a larger change.

Any other ideas?
