Well it looks like you found a bug! :)
Your payments should *not* be the same if going monthly rather than
by-weekly.
Can you open a bug? Possibly here?

With all the info you put here?
Thanks,

The fact that the interest amount is twice as much seems to indicate
to me that GC does not do the proper calculation given your
every-two-week frequency.
That would happen I think if GC thought you're paying your mortgage
every month instead of every two-weeks.
Could you try doing the same with a monthly schedule, instead of
two-week schedule and see if what you get seems right?
That would help debug the issue.

My Gnucash version is 4.4 (more specifically 4.4+(2020-12-28) running
on Debian); thanks for reminding me to mention that, Stan!
Jean, I tried setting the payment frequency to monthly, leaving
everything else exactly as it was. All of the payment amounts remained
exactly the same; only the dates changed.
The formula showing for "Amount" is exactly the same as before.
Assuming that my hypothetical monthly total payment, interest portion,
and principal portion should all be 26/12 × my actual biweekly amounts:
* The total payment amount is roughly 1.75× what I would expect;
* The interest portion is about what I would expect;
* The principal amount is thus way too high;
Let me know if there's any more info I can provide.
Cheers!
-Chris
