Sparkonto is defined in GC as a "Bank" account.

I opened the Sparkonto account view and right-clicked the amount in the
Sparkonto line in the split view of one of the transactions in question.
When I pick "Edit Exchange Rate" from the resulting context menu, I get the
attached message: "The two currencies involved equal each other", and find
no way to edit the exchange rate.

Sparkonto is in CHF.
The Sarasin fund should now be in EUR, since I moved it under a EUR
placeholder account, as you suggested earlier. This EUR account was
originally defined as a "Bank" account (the default), but changing it to an
"Asset" account has not changed the behaviour.
