Invoice issues

[Wouter van Marle]

Update:

Exactly the same issue happens if I just unpost the invoice, lower the
amount, and post it again. Then I deleted the original payment, and
tried to enter a new payment. It demanded the old amount.

This I found when using an older .xac file where the new invoice was not
yet added, and no deletions were made. The payment still requires the
old amount.

There is more to it as for another customer it doesn't go wrong I found
out already. It's really a strange bug.
