Income Statement question

[Jeff Black]

I’m a new user running gnucash 2.6.6 on Ubuntu.

I want to run an Income Statement report on a simple test account.  I want to limit the report to specific asset accounts and specific expense accounts.  Here is the simple example.  Note the reporting period is not pertinent to the issue as all transactions are dated within the current period (today).

My Asset accounts:
	Asset A
	Asset B
	Asset C

My Expense accounts:
	Expense 1
	Expense 2
	Expense 3

My transactions (all dated today):

	Asset A -> Expense 1	$1
	Asset A -> Expense 2	$2
	Asset A -> Expense 3	$4
	
	Asset B -> Expense 1	$10
	Asset B -> Expense 2	$20
	Asset B -> Expense 3	$40

	Asset C -> Expense 1	$100
	Asset C -> Expense 2	$200
	Asset C -> Expense 3	$400

The default report shows:

	...
	Expenses
	Expense 1		$111.00
	Expense 2		$222.00
	Expense 3		$444.00
	Total Expense		$777.00
	…

This is what I would expect.

HOWEVER, now I want to limit the report to only reporting on Asset A’s and Asset B’s disbursals to Expense 2 and Expense 3.  I go into the Report Options | Accounts and HIGHLIGHT only Asset A, Asset B and Expense 2 and Expense 3, hit Apply.

WHAT I SHOULD GET is:

	...
	Expenses
	Expense 2		$22.00
	Expense 3		$44.00
	Total Expense		$66.00
	…

BUT WHAT I GET is:

	...
	Expenses
	Expense 2		$222.00
	Expense 3		$444.00
	Total Expense		$666.00
	…

In other words, the reported expense accounts are limited to Expense 2 and Expense 3 as desired.  BUT it is still including all three asset accounts (not limiting reported accounts to Asset A and Asset B only).

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

Thanks,
