Yes it's set to single line.
When I switched to Transaction Journal it just opened all the split
transactions instead of me opening them individually with the SPLIT

I have just been hitting the SPLIT butt up in the tool bar when I wanted
to enter a split transaction. Doing the Auto-split it saw something that
I may have been missing before.
