Yes -- I meant "split transaction"; brain getting ahead of fingers,
there.  In fact there are 4, and sometimes 5, splits in that
transaction: 2 or 3 debits, and 2 credits.

I think I was unclear.  The problem is that the second credit does not
appear in the report designed to display all transactions in that
account.  The first credit and the debits all appear in the report
appropriate to them. I have actually set the debit and the first
credit accounts as filter accounts, with no success.

I'd say that if this is a feature, it's rather un-useful.  If there is
something about how I'm setting the report up, I would like to know
it.  If the application really only allows reporting of one credit,
then I suggest it's a bug.
