These are dividend transactions in an Investment account.  I just tried  
again, and in master branch, in the Investment account, if I select two  
dividend transactions and then try to edit, nothing happens,  In the  
brokerage account, I do see that tooltip.  I can see these are actually  
split transactions (one for the security, one for the category, and one  
for the brokerage account) so I'll have to think about whether editing  
the category makes sense, and will probably file a low-priority  
wishlist.  It should be possible, since there is only one split for a  
category.
