multiple display of the same transaction

[Dustin Henning]

	When I accidentally choose the account I'm in as the account I'm
transferring to/from, it shows up as two lines like this.  I believe I
messed up and try to delete the one that is wrong and both disappear.  This
has happened multiple times.  However, if these were combined to one, it
would show the same amount on both columns and as such, be much more obvious
what was wrong.  OTOH, I actually use a separte split for capital gains on
securities (as opposed to the recently discussed method apparently in the
documentation).  I believe my reply on that post had transaction and split
backwards, but that is beside the point.  I want my capital gains to show up
in what I consider as a transaction, as opposed to being split between the
lots being sold in that transaction.  If I didn't want to see an extra line,
I would expect to be able to combine it into a "split transaction" (this
term is what makes the words get confused for me), and be disappointed that
the capital gain was showing in a separate, but not identical line.  Does
that make number of affected users a 200% increase, or an additional 50%
increase?

The 100% increase is in users who have recently posted about it.
A subtle but important distinction. :-)
