Bug Description

Here's an idea for feature that would be very useful for me to have. When paying bills or draining accounts to make big portefolio rebalancing operations, I always have to watch out to prevent draining the source accounts to zero (or less). I always want to keep a little margin in there.

So in the Add operation dialog, next to the "Amount: [± 0.00](<)" widgets, when the amount of the transaction is a negative amount, I would like to have a label that gives me an estimate of what will be left in the source account, something like this:

Amount: [± -9999.99](<) 43.00 will remain

And ideally, it should also mention the amount's hard minimum balance amount (if set)...

to me when you add an internal xfer, just after that the account summary will show you you are below the minimal amount.
this is enough

Well yes, it's just a bit inconvenient because you're then playing a "trial and error" guessing game: you set your amount, then you must "OK" the transaction to see the resulting balance in the transactions list, then you must reopen the transaction editing dialog to correct the result, rinse & repeat... c'est pas la mort, mais c'est pas aussi cool que ça pourrait être ;)
