[Derek Atkins]

Looks like http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=116353 to me.

Quoting Bill Farmilo <billf at semiconductor.com>:

> I'm having trouble with entering a stock purchase. I can follow the 
> concepts guide, and everything looks good from the Stock account 
> perspective, but the cash account used to buy the shares does not 
> debit as I would expect. Example Below:
>
> Here is the view of the split lines in the Stock Account (call it SII)
>
> Date	Num	Description					Shares		Tot Buy	Tot Sell	Balance
>
> 	Buy		Assets:...:Brokerage Account:SII	1000	0.25	250.00
> 			Assets:...:Checking Account						250.00
>
> But in the Checking Account, it doesn't debit the $250.00. It looks 
> like this:
>
> Date	Num	Description					Tot Decrease	Tot Increase	Balance
>
> 	Buy		Assets:...:Brokerage Account:SII
> 			Assets:...:Checking Account
>
> I would have expected my Checking Account balance to decrease by 
> $250.00, but instead the balance is unchanged despite this 
> transaction.
>
> Please help - is this a bug or just my inability to understand a key 
> concept ?
