I have this working correctly, now, however....

I've brought the reinvest handling in investactivities.cpp, into line
with the fee handling. There was some redundant code there, where the
functionality was already handled in
InvestTransactionEditor::slotUpdateInterestVisibility().

I don't think that's the case really. I interpret it as distinguishing
between hiding a label and setting it to an empty string, which is what
is done. However, I've just hidden the interest amount label and
there's no apparent adverse effect.
However, and I hope Dave Houlden and others may comment, I'm not sure
about the amount actually being displayed here. In a reinvest dividend
transaction, the dividend is used to purchase further shares/units. At
the moment, when a category has been entered for the transaction, the
Amount edit box also opens, which I think is confusing as it seems like
an invitation to the user to enter an amount, when there should be no
such amount, as the dividend has been used for the purchase.
What do others think?
