I would take Stan's advice and change, at least temporarily, to the formal accounting labels. The logic implemented in GnuCash to keep to the accounting formalism is most clearly expressed in that format. Yes --- those new to double entry bookkeeping can be easily confused by the supposedly

That's exactly what I'm saying. I owe $500. That's a negative balance in my credit card account, showing in red with a minus sign. I enter a payment of $200 and the negative balance increases to -$700. The negative balance should decrease to -$300. Yet the other half of the transaction correctly w
