[GNC] Problem with PayPal statements?

[Jean D. Boyle]

Hello fellow users of GNUCash,

Indeed, the recent flatpak version of GNUCash for Linux (4.8) allows 
with a *.csv-file import two (or more) columns of the type /Deposit/ and 
adds them up. I have not tried this with other versions.

When the developers agree that this is a bug, then I will fill in a bug 
report officially. This way I get to know this kind of forms.
