Accounts Receivable payments for taxes

[Richard Geddes]

Is the following a bug or a feature:

On the Cash Flow report -> Account Tab -> checkbox "Always show
sub-accounts"

When it's not checked, Assets:Accounts Receivable shows the equivalent
of "Cash Based Accounting"

When it's checked, the "Assets:Accounts Receivable" is broken out, and
the totals are what seems to be "Accrual Based Accounting"

I was expecting the "Money In" line to be the same for both settings of
"Always show sub-accounts", but it's not.

I'm only assuming this by manually adding the income values and
comapring... I could be wrong... or it could be coincidence.

Can someone verify?

Thanks
R
