As Adrien mentions in another post, the transaction journal can be
displayed. It is also useful to select View-> Autosplit register when
working in an account register as this displays the two (or more)
entries associated with a selected transaction on succeessive lines.
GnuCash is designed around entering transaction (most commonly from
appropraite asset or liability accounts, e.g. bank or credit card)
directly in the register for the account rarther than entering it in a
journal which then gets posted to an account. The Transaction Journal
view displays all transactions in a register with 1 line per entry
rather than just the selected transaction.
