Click on the transaction in the Imbalance account, then, if necessary,
click the Split button, then click on one of the non-imbalance splits,
probably the one showing the bank account, then click the Jump button
which is the one with the curved green arrow on (at least it is on
mine). If you hover over it you should get a popup hint saying that it
Jumps to corresponding account
