By mistake, I had two Asset accounts for the same stock, but with different spellings. That is what produced the two similar Trading accounts.
So, I ended up doing in the Cash account that did the buys and sells: In split view mode: change the stock asset account from one to the other, press Enter, that got me a popup to adjust the number of shares. Press Enter and all was fixed. Doing that was a lot easier than deleting and re-entering the transactions. When I was done, one stock asset account and one trading account were both empty, so could be deleted. I also deleted the wrong spelling in the Security editor.
