Hello Sunfish,
Yes. That is what happened.
That is a good insight that you provided.
Thank you!

I'll note that because GnuCash keeps a running really of the amount
needed to balance the transaction, users adding a new line to that
transaction can get confusing results.
For example, a user adds a new transaction for a grocery store and
places a left column entry for $35 assigned to Expenses:Groceries.
They tab off the line, intending to add another split for $15 for
Expenses:Household and tab to the left column and enter $15. However,
in the right column, GnuCash has already supplied the balancing $35
for the first split. As user tabs of the line, GnuCash takes $15 and
combines it with the $35, resulting in a right column entry for $20,
rather than a left column entry in the intended amount.

David,
No, I found out very quickly that return causes that sort of result.
Best regards,

Neal, By chance are you using the enter key during your
editing? That triggers the full transactiion calculatkions.
Use arrow keys, ta b key or mouse buttons until you are ready
to see the transaction calculation. I think calculztions
within individual amount fields happen as soon as you move out
of that field unless you are creating a scheduled
transaaction. On Sat, Mar 9, 2024, 8:36 PM Adrien Monteleone <

I'm not certain what you are describing, but I'll hazard a
guess that you are seeing GnuCash auto-balance the
transaction. That is normal. Every transaction has to be
balanced. (Debits *must* equal Credits) You are free to
enter the transaction however you like, as long as that
holds true. If your self-entered amounts do not result in
equal Debits & Credits, GnuCash will create a split
initially not assigned to any account, but when you commit
the transaction and that split remains, it will be
assigned to the account labeled: 'Imbalance-XXX' (where
XXX is a currency code) for the difference. Please read
the GnuCash Help Manual and the Tutorial & Concepts Guide
available in the Help Menu, or online, as you are learning
the software. Then if you get stuck, come back and ask for
help here. Regards, Adrien On 3/9/24 8:18 PM, W. Neal

When I do the View > Transaction and put in individual
numbers for each
item in the Withdrawal column, it starts to mess with my
figures. It puts in a number at the very top. It adds
deposits to other entries. What I end up with is a
mish-mash of costs that the program seems to think that I
need for some mythical number it has come up with.
That's exactly what happened previously. I don't want
it adding numbers,
or changing numbers. I just want to put in the correct
values for each line, including tax, hit return and have
the final value show up on the first line of the transaction.
I obviously don't know what I am doing. Help! Neal
