To describe better (and it happens with both payee and category) as you  
start typing a Payee name, a dropdown list appears with all payees of  
which what you've typed so far is a substring.  Once that list is  
empty, what you have typed cannot be an existing payee.  Normally, KMM  
waits until you hit enter or tab out of that field to ask if you want  
to create a new payee.  Here, as soon as the list of possible payees is  
empty, I get TWO popups asking if I want to create the new payee.

And, as I just posted to IRC, this is a Wayland issue.  All versions (I  
was trying to git bisect) work fine under xorg.  In addition, under  
Wayland, all Appimages I have tried fail to launch with a symbol not  
found error (mesa related) but I will need to restart in Wayland to  
capture the exact error message.

At least it's not a regression, like I first suspected.  Wayland does  
seem to have gotten a lot better since the last time I tried it, but it  
still have some issues.
