 You've entered the date as the 21st.  Once that is properly sorted by
date, the transaction will move up several slots in the register to be just
after "from Linda for airport parking."  Once that re-sort takes place,
listed balance will make sense.

Wrong balance after entering transaction after import

[BPleasantHill]

Hi:

I am new to GnuCash and am converting from Quicken.

*Problem Summary*
I created a checking account, set a starting balance, and imported my
quicken QIF file. Then I adjusted the Opening Balance. Everything is OK.
Finally I entered a $60 payment. Instead of the balance going down by $60 it
went up by $1633.35. Why?

*Detailed steps*
1. Exported my checking account from Quicken in a QIF file.
2. Created a new account in GnuCash in Assets:Checking and set the Opening
balance to my 1/1/18 statement balance
3. Imported the quicken QIF file.
4. The final balance didn't match my check register so I changed the
starting balance. Then things matched.
5. Entered a new transaction with $60 in the Decrease column. The balance
went from 7303.47 to 8937.02. I was expecting a balance of 7273.47. I can't
figure out what is wrong.
6. Just as an experiment I entered another $100 transaction and the balance
went down my $100 as expected.
Seems like something is wrong someplace when entering new transactions after
importing.

Here is a picture:
 

Any idea why the balance is wrong? Thanks for your help.

Bob
