Yes, similar code too. Just different terms based on perspective of 
Vendor vs. Customer.

Once you post, and then re-view the bill, it should show as paid.

To check otherwise, Run a Vendor report with full Detail links to see if 
the payment is indeed applied.

If not, right-click the original payment in the source register (not AP, 
just to be safe) and choose Edit Payment. If you don't see 'Edit 
Payment' but instead see 'Assign as payment' choose that one.

In the Edit case, select the payment and the invoice you want to apply 
it to, verify amount, date, account, notes, et cetera, then commit.

In the Apply as case, treat it like a new payment. (you won't see the 
unattached 'pre-payment' at all)

Be sure to remove the errant 'extra' payment you made previously and 
your AP account will be back to normal.

You can also do a 'Find Bill' and limit to either Paid/Unpaid to verify 
if GnuCash thinks it is paid.

View the invoice again, it should show PAID.

If after all of that, and it appears paid by other means, you found a bug.
