            Bug ID: 506939
           Summary: UX regression by moving the Payee textbox away from
                    the date textbox
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kmymoney

            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR

SUMMARY
IIRC in KMyMoney 5.1 the payee textbox was directly after the date. This was
ideal because it meant I could enter the date, tab to the payee textbox, then
enter an existing payee and automatically copy over the category and tags. With
KMyMoney 5.2 there is now the Payment/Deposit textboxes before the payee. This
means I naturally want to enter the amount first, and then enter the payee. But
unfortunately if the amount is already entered then I don't get the dialog box
to copy over the category and tag from previous payments. IMO this is a UX
regression, as it means I have to remember to skip the payment textbox, or
remember what category and tags I have set.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Start adding a new transaction
2. Add the date
3. Press tab, then add the amount
4. Press tab until Payee is focused
5. Start typing Payee, then select one of the existing payees

OBSERVED RESULT
Payee is automatically inserted, but there is no dialog to choose to
auto-insert the category and tags.

EXPECTED RESULT
A dialog box appears asking whether to automatically insert the category and
tags
