Possible problem with splits

[Mike or Penny Novack]

Not sure if I am perhaps doing something wrong, first time I tried to 
"memo" a split. So I tried a couple ways, editing the transaction (where 
split) and just the split portion itself (from the other direction) and 
I can't seem to make it right.

This is what I observe (and what persists no matter how edited)

date        main memo                                         total amt
                                  account 1                              
  amt 1
                                  account 2                           
                     amt2
                                  account 3                           
                     amt 2
                memo 4      account 4                                   
             amt 4

BUT --- if after entering the transaction, if I open account 4 I see the 
MAIN memo entry (not the one pertaining to just this item). If I edit it 
here and then go back to the account where the split is, the main memo 
has been changed to the text of "memo 4" (the text entered on the line 
where memo 4 was unaltered).

Obviously wrong. This was a bank deposit where the total represented a 
number of different income accounts, membership and donations 
reimbursements from national PLUS a donation received from a group for 
which we gave a presentation (we don't charge speakers FEES, but 
donations when we speak before a group not unusual). I was trying to 
memo this item "whom from" as useful information (speak there again if 
they ask). Shouldn't keep trying to make that "deposit" (the main memo) 
or change the main memo to "Russell Grange #73". Proper behavior would 
be to treat the main memo text as a default, showing it in the memo 
field of the other account if/f there was no specific memo entry.

1) Has this been reported before?
2) If not, next step? Remember developers -- I'm a retired senior 
analyst who used to get paid to design/write/test/debug LARGE financial 
systems --- so not out of line to say "your baby, Mike"

Announcing -- now official. At our board meeting Jan 19th I reported 
that the parallel test was successful and that I was satisfied with 
Gnucash and since available for under Windows and Macs (I could run 
under a 'nix, but I won't be treasurer forever), I was suggesting that 
our organization use GnuCash. Approved.
