Well, keep in mind that a collapsed register only shows you every
Split, not unique transactions.  So if you have a transaction with
multiple splits into the same account, that transaction will appear
multiple times when you view that account register.

I'd have to see a screen shot of the register and the report to better
understand your exact situation, but I suspect that you're seeing
one transation multiple times but the report is only showing it to
you once, because it IS only one transaction)..   Or perhaps you have
the split transaction entered incorrectly?  I'd have to see it to
be sure.
