--- Comment #9 from Jack <ostrof...@users.sourceforge.net> ---
I've just re-read through this bug, and I now wonder if the issue isn't just a
misunderstanding of the relation between the investment account and the
associated brokerage account.  When you enter (or import) an investment
transaction, you do so in the investment account.  That transaction includes
one or more categories for dividend, interest, fees, ... (the categories you
seem to be referring to.)  If the transaction includes a net income or expense,
the transaction will also show up in the brokerage account.  When you look at
the brokerage account ledger, you will only see "investment transaction" and
the amount of income or expense.  In order to deal with any of the details,
don't try to edit the transaction in the brokerage account, edit it in the
investment account.  All the details related to categories are aspects of the
investment activity.  The brokerage account simply provides or receives the
necessary funds for the transaction.  

As far as I can tell, the origin of the distinction between investment and
brokerage accounts is lost in the mists of history, and although it may or may
not really be necessary from an accounting or programming perspective, once you
understand how KMM works, it shouldn't cause any problems.
