I sometimes found Steven Bruniges' writing a little difficult to follow, 
so pardon if I've missed something.  I disagree with him; the 
transaction line in the split view shouldn't show the value in the 
transaction currency because the share price isn't being shown.  (Why 
doesn't he have the "Price" column header?)

My preferences would be, referencing the first two screenshots from the 
original bug:

Screenshot https://bugs.gnucash.org/attachment.cgi?id=374842
* Leave all numbers as-is

Screenshot https://bugs.gnucash.org/attachment.cgi?id=374843
* In the "Tot Sell" column remove the top black 3 and leave that cell blank.

In BOTH screenshots
* change heading "Balance" to "Shares Balance" to indicate it is not the 
cash value total but the shares total
* no need for "Tot" in any of the three column headings that use it.  
They are not really totals, which just makes this a little odd.


Surprisingly, this does not appear to be an issue in my single 
other-currency balance sheet account (except for the "Tot" parts of 
column heads), probably because conversion rates are not displayed in 
the register.
