[GNC] GNU Cash not performing math functions correctly on entry

[David Cousens]

MIchael

That still works as expected in GnuCash 5.4 running on Linux Mint. I entered a
transaction for $15.61 credit to my bank account, entered the next split as
$15.61/11 and it was calculated as $1.42 with $14.19 going to the Imbalance
account  (I hit enter after entering the second split).  I also tested your
entry as well and the correct amount was entered.
