No, almost certainly that you are new to double entry bookkeeping and 
having trouble with the fundamental concepts. For example:

You receive a paycheck which you deposit into your bank account:
    That would be a debit to your bank account and a credit to your 
income account and BOTH of those are increases to those accounts because 
for an account of type asset, debit is an increase, while for an account 
of type income, credit is an increase. The net effect on your books 
(total debits vs total credits) is zero as it should be.

Is that understood or not understood? We have to be clear about THAT 
before we can discuss whether some behavior you observe is a bug.
