Yes it's set to single line.
When I switched to Transaction Journal it just opened all the split
transactions instead of me opening them individually with the SPLIT
button up in the tool bar.
I have just been hitting the SPLIT butt up in the tool bar when I wanted
to enter a split transaction. Doing the Auto-split it saw something that
I may have been missing before.

Jack,
If you happen to have the register display set to single line instead
of double line or worse, set to basic ledger, you can find yourself
getting lost just trying to make "missing" split lines appear. I
recommend setting the register view to Auto-split ledger or
transaction journal and check the double line box until you are
comfortable with the way the display works.
