Tom, A running balance is defined on the premise that amounts are in only one account sorted in chronological order.
Your find criteria cross accounts and may not necessarily be in chronological order, so it would be purely coincidental if the numbers matched a transaction report on some selected accounts. While a running balance could be defined as calculated per view instead of per account, GnuCash doesn't work that way. As the developers sometimes say, patches are welcome.

No account registers are open and only showing the account tab. I fail to understand why the total credits/debits at the bottom of the report are NOT equal when the search criteria is for a single description and a single expense account. The search results may contain splits for more than one asset account (credits) and will show splits for only the expense account gas (all debits). The debit/credit splits all appear correct, it is the totals and running balance which are strange. Usually the debit total is correct and credit total will be equal to only the latest entry(s).
