What results do you get, exactly? Could you attach a screenshot with
accounts/numbers blurred out, maybe? Or from some transactions in a
bogus test file.

I always enter all my transactions as splits in the General Ledger
(Tools > General Ledger). Well, unless it's literally a one-line
transaction like a credit card payment.
