[GNC] Problem with PayPal statements?

Hello Fellow users of GNUCash and Frank,

I have an update on this 'problem with PayPal statements'. It seems that 
I have had two columns set as /Deposit/, so that GNUCash added two 
values per row*, which resulted in a doubled amount for each transaction.

Sorry for any inconvenience. By failing, I am learning to walk...


*Is this a correct behaviour, that GNUCash adds two deposit columns?
