Hello all,

Firstly:
MacPro 2010, High Sierra 10.13.6
GnuCash Version: 5.12
Build ID: 5.12+(2025-06-28)
Finance::Quote: 1.56

The Problem:
I opened up Gnucash today and entered two transactions - cash income in GBP
and EUR for a job I did and was paid in both currencies for the one job.
All good.

On checking the bank accounts and the P&L report I find that random
accounts are showing a red minus figure that alters the true total.
On one expense account that was previously shown as black - as it ought to
be - namely
Bank Charges, I was given a refund that was duly input as a credit to the
bank and a debit to the expense account. The amount was €7.10 in and out
the same day. The account now shows a balance of  minus €7.61(black)
instead of the expected €8.64, which it was previously.

Another expense account that was previously black now shows a red minus
figure.

If I look at a trial balance showing both Euro and Pounds, the Euro amount
is shown a a minus red figure.

On some expense accounts the € is in black, as it should be and the £ is a
black minus figure, (only goes black on a coloured background it seems).

I can't work it out, perhaps I changed something somewhere, but can't think
what.

Any suggestions most welcome.

Thanks in advance G
