Sadly, the reply was to Wm only and not to the list.
If you have given your point of view to those three mentioned people,
without presenting the view of someone like Mike Novack, you will get the
answer you got.

I doubt that you have paid 3 accountants for 3 separate opinions, so could
you change the question from
"This must be a bug, isn't it?"
to
"How might I understand better what I am seeing?"

There have been several comments about the difference between computerised
accounting and paper accounting. I suggest you go over those again,
because there are some key points in there.
Then choose a different report, one suggested already on the replies, and
see if using the best tool for the job produces the result you require.

We understand how you have reached this point. I think the "bug" is
maintaining a report called "Trial Balance"
