Hard to say without knowing what the txns actually were. What you have 
told Gnucash is:

- you had 1115.05 on 7/21
- you sold some Midcap Fund for 5213.04 on 8/10
- you bought some Mid Cap Value for 1652.00 on 8/10

which leaves a balance of 4676.09, as shown.

Presumably you have entered the wrong value for either the sale or the 
purchase txns, but only you can tell which.
