I have a top level account under which are several individual cash,
stock and mutual fund accounts.
In the main accounts window the totals are correct and follow the latest
prices produced by the price editor.
The balance sheet does not agree with the individual account balances
and does not appear to follow the latest prices.  In one case , a stock
account the balance sheet shows a zero balance in conflict with the
account window.  Some of the values are larger than actual others are
zero or less than actual.
The account summary report is also incorrect. The total given does agree
with the balance sheet total but both are wrong and in conflict with the
main accounts values.
Final clue is that with the exception of the account showing zero on the
balance sheet, the balance sheet seems to reflect the individual account
initial balance and dividend activity.  That is the dollar values.
