The Imbalance collects your mistakes in data entry. We all make them.
If a transaction is not balanced when the [Enter] key is pressed, some
goes to Imbalance.
Another place to be wary of is "Orphan-(currency)"

Check periodically to see if these accounts have materialised, and then
sort out the problem. I fix the entries and delete the account.


Yes, there is a place to report a bug, but this one is a user bug, not
a program bug.
