One could do that in the categories view. There we see all splits referencing the selected category as separate items.

I did that and copied your description. This is what I call a qualified problem report. Thank you very much. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=411030. Since it was easy to fix I just did that and the code will become part of the next release.

The upcoming 5.0.6 release will also be made available for Windows users. There is a Windows version 5.0.5 available at https://download.kde.org/stable/kmymoney/5.0.5/ so you can give that a try already.
