GNUCash Documentation vs. actual Transaction Screen heading discrepency (deposit vs increase)

[Dave H]

Suresh,

You could try going to Edit >> Preferences >> Accounts and toggling the
"Use formal accounting labels" setting, this changes my column headers
(Gnucash 2.6.12 on Windows 7) from Deposit/Withdrawal or Increase/Decrease
(Equity Account) to Debit/Credit.

Cheers Dave H
