[GNC] Account Total not matching Account Balance

[Rares Vernica]

Thank you for the suggestion. The difference is about $150. I tried the
filter that you suggested but resulted in no transactions being shown.

The totals shown at the bottom of the account tab: Present, Future,
Cleared, Reconciled, and Projected Minimum are all correct. Just the Total
(USD) shown on the Accounts tab is incorrect.

Thank you,
Rares Vernica
