Bank Interest in Wrong Column on Reconcile

[Tommy Trussell]

I've been using GnuCash for a bit more than a year now, upgrading
through several versions since 1.8.x., and I'm using 2.2.1 now (in
Ubuntu Gutsy).

About the time I upgraded to 2.0.5, when I reconciled a bank
statement, the interest for each statement started going into the
"withdrawal" column instead of the "deposit" column, and I have to
manually move the amount to reconcile the statement. This is still
happening in the current version.

I have not seen an obvious way to change the default behavior. When
the Interest dialog of the reconcile process comes up, the dialog
shows two account selectors, but the selector on the right ("Reconcile
Account") stays inactive (greyed out), and if I choose my Interest
Income account in the left selector ("Payment From"), it complains
that I can't transfer to and from the same account.

I believe this behavior is occurring on all of my data files, but
since it only comes up once a month per interest-bearing bank account,
I have not explored it much.
