Trying to delete a payee by pressing the Delete key may result in the deletion
of a transaction if one doesn't pay attention. I think this is a severe bug.

What I did:
When entering a new transaction I noticed that I had a duplicate payee (let's
say P1 and P1').
1. I canceled entering the transaction and went to the Payees page
2. I looked at the duplicate payee entries and found that one of them (P1) had
just one transaction
3. I double clicked this transaction and the transaction editor opened (which
was unexpected, but exactly what I needed)
4. I changed the payee of the transaction to the other payee (P1'). As expected
the transaction vanished from P1. P1 no didn't have any transactions anymore.
5. With the now empty payee P1 selected I pressed Delete intending to delete
P1.
KMyMoney asks me "Do you really want to delete the selected transaction?" ->
This is the BUG!
6. Naturally, I canceled this question before KMyMoney deletes God knows which
transaction.
7. I clicked the "Delete payee" button.
KMyMoney asks me "Do you really want to remove the payee Buchhandlung
Backhaus?"
8. I click Yes and, as expected, the payee P1 is delete

This isn't the first bug where KMyMoney seems to apply a keyboard press to
something other than the currently selected item (e.g. in the past I reported a
bug where entering a scheduled transaction with a keyboard shortcut didn't work
as expected). I would expect that the architecture of KMyMoney would prevent
that any action is ever performed on anything other than the selected items
regardless how this action is triggered.
