Sorry, let me expand my statement.  The register LISTS splits, showing
split (and associated transaction) data.  But the primary entity in
a standard basic register is a Split, not a Transaction.  This is why
you see duplicate entries, because you have two splits from the same
transaction so you get two line entries in the register..  Both lines
showing the same transactional data but different split data.
