[Kmymoney] Data Entry Problem

I am having trouble getting some data entered, and have been unable to 
figure it out.

I am running kmy 4.6.3 on Windows 7 using a file data store.

I am trying to enter a dividend for a security. I have done this before 
for the same security, so my usual approach is to duplicate the most 
recent dividend transaction and make changes as necessary. This time, 
however, the amount I enter in the "Fees" box is not saved, so I am 
stuck with the Fee from the duplicated transaction.

If I switch the Activity from Dividend to Interest Income, the Fees 
field disappears. If I resize the kmy window, the Fee field shows up 
again (but if I''m using a transaction form, the "Fees" label does not). 
I can enter the correct fee, but after saving the transaction, it 
reverts to the duplicated fee.

If I enter the transaction from scratch, I need to do the window resize 
trick to get the Fees field to show. I can then enter a fee, but after 
saving the transaction, it is stored as 0.

If I go to a different investment account, I can enter this transaction 
fine, and as I said, I have entered it in the offending investment 
account before. I can't see any differences between the two accounts.

My database does have multiple currencies, but this transaction, and all 
referenced accounts/categories, are all one currency.

Tools==>Consistency Check does not report any problems.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

TIA.
