Liz, Just wanted to mention that if you post to cash ledger and meant to post to a card, instead of cutting and pasting, in the cash ledger, you could click on the transaction and then the split icon. Then click on the line for the cash ledger. You will then have the down arrow for the account selection. You can then select the appropriate card account and it will move the transaction and your debits and credits will be correct. This may sound more involved, but it is a lot easier than it sounds and you don't have to move between accounts when cutting and pasting.

When pasted into the card account, I would find a deposit instead of a withdrawal. I haven't ever taken the time to report and discuss the problem, but learned that jumping to the Expense account involved and moving the transaction from there was more reliable. I have vague memories that it wasn't always like this, but I've been on Gnucash since about V1.6 and I didn't pay attention to when this started. I haven't even tried it more recently to see if I can still reproduce the problem. Summary: I also think copy and paste of a transaction has problems.
