In version 5.1 it was not even possible to change the Payer/Payee in the transaction splits, and if I do not fill in the field (5.2), the entries will be saved with blank payers.

I'm wondering if it makes sense to allow different payers/payees in a split transaction. What's the use case? I think the actual bug is that the Payer/Payee box is available/shown in the split editor.

" I think the actual bug is that the Payer/Payee box is available/shown in the split editor"
Yes! I think so!
But in the splits the Payees are blanks

Wouldn't the use case, if I am understanding the question correctly, be something like the following:

Friends and I go out to eat. The restaurant only accepts one check/ticker per table. 

I pay the check and my friends agree to pay me back. 

When enter that transaction I may want to break it up. 

The category would still be dining but I would split it by payee so I can track how much each person owes. I could also do that with accounts for each person but that may lead to multiple accounts I may not use often. 


Another use case. 
When I pay my mortgage, a portion goes to the bank for interest, a portion to the principal of the loan(usually still the bank) and a portion goes to "escrow" which is insurance and taxes. If I want to track the insurance and taxes payees I would probably need this functionality. 

I can try to think of more.
