Hello,
I am using version 2.0.1 and I stumbled over the following problem. So
far, whenever I owned stocks and I sold them I did the accounting
according to the gnucash manual. But this time I only sold half of the
stocks I have owned. I put a screenshot of it under 
http://itp.tugraz.at/~flash/download/without_unrealized.png
But this resulted in a wrong balance Activa != Passiva + Equity. So
I figured maybe this is due to the fact that I did not account for the
unrealized gain on the rest of the stocks I own, so I added an entry
for unrealized gain.

shows it. The lines for the split transaction translate to
      Erloes -> Net Sale
      Spesen -> Commision
      Kursgewinn -> Profit
      Verkauf -> Gross Sale
      Gewinn -> Capital Gain
      Kursgewinn -> Unrealized Gain
This makes the balance sheet show correctly activa == passiva +
equity. I can live with that, although It would be nice to know if I
have to do it that way, since I am not an accounting expert. But the
thing which is not so fine is the advanced portfolio report.

shows the screenshot. Any help/note is greatly appreciated.
Thanks and best regards,
