Thanks for the pointer.  I read that as saying that if the selected 
transactions are not all in the same account, emit an error, but if all 
are in the same investment account, no error or warning, just silently 
disable the editor.  I clearly need to dig further into the code to 
understand why accountID.isEmpty() would be true if all transactions 
were in the same account.  However, assuming the code works as designed, 
might it be reasonable to add a warning after the line where the eidtor 
is set to nullptr?  Also, this doesn't say what the problem would be 
with editing multiple investment accounts.
