Hi Timothy

Your bug did show up, and does appear on kmymoney-devel at kde.org, and I
did start to look at it, but in the course of that, I discovered
another bug that causes crashes, so that has taken priority.

About your bug report, there's something I'm not very clear on.  Of
course, every user, or most, will want to organise things to suit their
own requirements, but I'm not sure quite what you're trying to achieve!

I'll copy this to Thomas as well, as he might have an opinion.  As I
understand it, you're importing transactions, which are marked as
'invst', but which don't have any share movements, and which are,
in effect, transfers of monies between accounts.  Are these qif
transactions that you have created?  If not, from where did they
originate?  Could you not achieve your aim by classing them as 'bank'
transactions, which, apart from anything else, would probably avoid the
problem you have?

I've actually had trouble getting your transactions to appear in a
Brokerage account.  In fact, they don't go into any account, but show
up just as categories.  As I understand it, in KMM accounts and
categories are much the same, so I wouldn't expect a transaction to
appear both in an 'transfer to' account and in a category, but perhaps
this is incorrect.
