Strange problem with V2.2.9

[ozieostrige]

I tried to post this problem on #gnucash IRC earlier but my connection kept
dropping out.

When I enter transactions Gnucash adds an amount for car expenses.

EG If I buy a packet of split pins and a drill bit from my local hardware
store, I open a new bill and fill in the 1st line:
Date/split Pins/EXPENSES:SPARE PARTS/1.00/$2.95/Taxable/Tax inc/Tax Table
GST (10%)
The 2nd line is then filled in:
Date/Drill Bit/EXPENSES:TOOLS/100/$2.85/Taxable/Tax inc/Tax Table GST (10%)
The total displayed in the lower left hand corner of the screen is $5.80
which is correct.
I then post the bill and pay it from ASSETS:CASH ON HAND.  Everything seems
normal until I check the various accounts.

Cash on hand account records a spend of $5.80 which is correct
If I jump from here to Accounts Payable the transaction is recorded as a
payment of $5.80 which is also correct.  However the next line in this
account is recorded as a split totalling $5.80 in the bill column and when I
open the split I find:
EXPENSES:TOOLS $2.59, EXPENSES:CAR EXPENSES $0.53, EXPENSES:SPARE PARTS
$2.68 in the payment column and LIABILITIES:ACCOUNTS PAYABLE $5.80 in the
bill column.

Every transaction I enter has a similar result, both income and expenses.

Can someone please tell me what I might be doing wrong for this to occur? 
At no time did I specify the car expenses account, but Gnucash appears to
have added this as a component of each item.
