Using gnucash-2.4.5 (or 2.4.3, 2.4.4 but not 2.4.0) and Ubuntu 10.10,
the income statement seems to be involving unrealized gains in some
fashion when calculating the net income or loss. I've attached a test
case which demonstrates this. BTW, the income and expenses subtotals
are correct.
This test case has only income in 2010, a stock purchase in 2010, and
another stock purchase in 2011. Then an income statement for 2011 has
the incorrect total.
The key to triggering this seems to be a stock purchases or sales in a
prior period, and some additional stock was purchased (or sold) in the
current period. Then one can get a variety of answers (all wrong)
depending on which "Commodity Price Source" one chooses. I don't think
that unrealized gains should show up on an income statement (unless I
enter an actual transaction posting them). This is all in one currency
(USD); so multi-currency issues aren't involved.
