 From what I see, I don't think KMyMoney knows about your total dividend 
of 30,45.  Where did you enter that?

You've entered the new shares bought, and the two tax deductions, but I 
don't see anywhere an entry for the total dividend amount.

Am I missing something?

I think it would be as well after all, to raise a bug, if only for 
posterity.
