Description

This is related to #2447 and #3058 but it relates to the text GUI rather than the command line. Dynamic fees are not calculated in the text GUI, and when you try to send with a blank fee, it gives you an "Invalid fee" error. This is even if you have dynamic_fees, fee_level and fee_per_kb set in the config file.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the send flow in the text GUI with dynamic_fees, fee_level, and fee_per_kb set in the config, then compare the behavior with related issues #2447 and #3058. Done means dynamic fees are calculated in the text GUI and sending with a blank fee no longer produces an "Invalid fee" error.
