The other splits (AUD 735.97 and JPY 60,774) are correct and it still messes
things up in the trading accounts.

I did all this with the same wrong messed up result.

Sorry, cannot follow you on this one.

Something is definitely wrong in mothers kitchen. I am a bit frustrated that
I am still not able to fix this problem - and all other foreign currency
related ones - and I honestly believe that it's not the user (me) who messes
things up. I mean all I can do is entering the correct amounts and gnucash
should register it that way, which apparently it doesn't. Are there any
other people using trading accounts? Wm.. wrote about a bug which should be
soon fixed (thanks for your response Wm..). But this doesn't help me as
debian 8 won't have it in the repos for quite a while or I have to change to
testing, which I would like to avoid. I somehow still feel that there is
something wrong with autofill.

I don't wanna give up again yet. I really need/want to fix this mess and
perhaps it will help other users in the future as well.

Thank you!
