Yes, rolling/running balance. However, while there is a balance column
being displayed, it might not show the *correct* balance because each
split shown has a precomputed balance for the actual account it is tied
to. This balance is recomputed whenever a split in the account is
modified. However, it is NOT computed in real-time for display.
So when you do a "Open Subaccounts" view, it is not recomputing the
balance including everything, but rather it is still showing the
pre-computed balance of the split's account balance for that split.
It *MAY* look correct at some points in time, but in general, no, it is
not.
