Income problems; 1.8.9

[John B. Egger]

I've just begun to learn about the P&L Report. Mine handles my expenses 
and salary fine, but there's a problem with dividends and other 
investment income that puzzles me. Consider a money-market account. In 
the "Accounts" list it looks perfect, balancing with the financial 
institution's statement, increasing with each month's dividend (entered 
as "Dividend:Account:Security".) But when I open the P&L Report and 
click on Dividends/Account/Security, only some of the past few months' 
entries are shown in the "income" column (and of course only they 
increase the dividend-income balance).

I have no idea what's different between the months that properly add to 
both my account balance and to my dividend-income total (such as 
8/31/04), and those that just increase my account balance (like 
9/30/04). I've tried creating new test transactions (in Account/Security 
from the Accounts window, with a "Dividend:Account:Security" of $20 
etc., and it adds $20 to the account balance but NOTHING to dividend income.
