[Kmymoney] Consistency Check Messages

[timothy]

Thanks Thomas for that input.

I have been doing some more investigating and it would appear as if the
editor of reinvest dividend will trigger the consistency check message
in all cases regardless of whether actual editing takes place - just
merely opening and closing the editor. The message then pops up on
pressing Save (the kmm file).

It would help if someone could try and duplicate this behaviour or not.
The kmm version would need to be later than when work was done on the
dividend editor as I did not notice this behaviour when I was testing
for that problem.

Thanks
Timothy
