[Kmymoney] No SPLIT available in Interest field in Dividend Transactions

[Michael CALDER]

G'day Alan,

My problem relates to New MANUAL entries using the Transaction Input 
Form when I have my Investment account open in the 'ledger' view.

I will now refer to the KDE Help Center Version 4.13.3 - Investment 
Transactions page.

At the top of the page is a graphic which shows 'Buy Shares' in the 
Activity field. It also shows the SPLIT icon for both the 'Fees' and 
'Interest' fields

At the bottom of the page is the following:

 >>>
Interest
  This is how you enter an interest or dividend payment from an 
investment. As with fees, if you enter a category, then a field will be 
shown to the right where you can enter the amount. You can also use the 
split transaction feature, if required.
 >>>

When I open my Investment Account in ledger view I have the following 
anomalies/bugs in the Transaction Input Form when the Activity field 
selection is as follows:

1. Buy shares		NO Interest field
2. Sell shares		NO Interest field
3. Dividend		Interest field without SPLIT Icon
4. Reinvest dividend	NO Account field (as expected) - Interest field 
without SPLIT Icon
5. Yield		Interest field without SPLIT Icon
6. Add,Remove & Split	Only Activity, Security and Memo fields (as expected)
7. Interest income	Interest field without SPLIT Icon

Therein lies the problem - Interest field cannot accommodate splits.

Cheers....

Mike
