Description Jonathan Clark 2011-03-07 12:38:03 UTC
Version:           4.5 (using KDE 4.5.1) 
OS:                Linux

I enter a transaction, with a Category. Later I realise I wish to change the Category. From the ledger I select the transaction, right mouse click, edit, select Category drop down and the only options shown are:
> Asset accounts
<--Income categories
-->Expense categories
plus the hierarchy of categories (within Income as it happens) leading down to the current category. I can switch up and down the Income category but I cannot get to a different leg of the category hierarchy.

Probably a separate bug, but I also tried to right mouse click on the transaction and use "Move transaction to .." which I have used in the past to correct categories. The only option it gives me is to move to completely different account. It used to let me move to a different category.
 the hierarchy leading down to the current category.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create categories with a hierarchy e.g. top level A, plus A:B and A:C
Create a transaction with category A:B
Save the file (or not - just a way to be sure the entry has been made).
Edit the transaction and try to change category to A:C. 

Actual Results:  
You will be offered A:B, A, and will see the top level headings Income categories and Expense categories. The only change you can make is to category A. If you then try to change again, you will still only see A and A:b, never A:C

Expected Results:  
It used to give you the complete list of categoreis to choose from.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.35-24-generic
Compiler: cc

Actually running on Gnome with enough KDE to make Kmymoney work.

You have two choices: a) delete the B from A:B and both B and C will be shown or b) double click on the drop down button of the category combo which will show you all available options.

I doubt that "Move transaction to" allowed to move to a different category. That was never implemented.
