[GNC] "Account Report" randomly chooses one of the splits

Hi,
I'm wondering if I'm misunderstanding how to use GnuCash or if maybe I'm
doing something wrong. I would like to get a sum of the transaction
amounts in a search result. For example, I'd like to see how much I've
spent on Amazon in the last year. However, when calculating the total,
GnuCash seems to arbitrarily choose one of the splits, so it always
undercounts.
It's easiest to see this with "Account Report - Single Transaction." Set
up a simple transaction with a split, for example a $11 debit from a
bank account to two expense categories, like $10 on food and $1 on sales
tax. The "Account Report - Single Transaction." will now show this
transaction with the split expanded, but the "Total Debits" shows up as
either $1 or $10, not the expected $11. The same occurs when "Account
Report" is run like this on many transactions like a search result.
I'm using GnuCash 3.6 (2019-06-29) via Fedora RPMs. Am I doing it wrong?
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks,
David
