I'm really not sure what the problem is.  I do something like this all  
the time.  I enter the shares and price/share to match what was  
actually bought, and then enter the fees.  I don't usually have more  
than one fee to enter, but I just tried it, and it works fine.  In this  
case, I said 1 share at $5, with two taxes, one of $.75 and one of  
$1.50.  Screenshot attached.  I'm using released 4.6.4 on Gentoo Linux.

Stefan - What version of KMM are you running?  Can you submit a screen  
shot of what you see?  I am wondering if this is related to the problem  
of some input fields being hidden for some investment transaction types.
