Peter,
I think the problem stems from your choice of report options.
Namely, by default, 'Account Name' under the Display tab is *not*
selected, while the 'other account' is.
This is because by default the Sort options are:
Primary: account
Secondary: register order
So by default, the trans

Indeed, my apologies David. I got lost in the thread, which it seems has

Glenn, check the wiki with respect to the GTKInspector which might be
able to help you find the proper id/class/object to target.
From the Inspector you can also make changes in real time to experiment.

Nope, PEBKAC.
Both reports are correct and the same. It's just that in the BigSur one you
turned off both of the sorting options so that only the transfer to/from
account is visible and then misread the report to mean that that was the
account being credited or debited.

Hi, here is THE ANSWER. It is a Guncash bug.
The previous report was obtained on MacOS 11.6.8 (Big Sur). This gave the
credits and debits mislabeled in the transaction report.
