[GNC] Incorrect income/expense charts

[Adrien Monteleone]

I can't speak to 3.11 because I've long moved on, but on 4.2, this issue 
doesn't appear to exist.

I just ran this chart and for example, my Gifts account which has 
multiple transactions this month shows the same total as my Income 
Statement (P&L).

This was using the default options.

Regards,
Adrien
