If I understand correctly, I don't think this is a bug. I think you may
be conflating two types of "double-line" transactions.

(1) View » Double line. This adds a line to each transaction in the
register, on which you can type Notes. (The Description field is always
available, and I confess I've never found a use for Notes.)

(2) View » Basic Ledger / Auto-Split Ledger / Transaction Journal.
* Basic ledger shows only the splits that belong to the account in this
register. if you want to see all the splits in a transaction, click on
the transaction and then click Split in the toolbar at the top.
* Auto-Split Ledger is the same except that whenever you are in a
particular transaction all splits for that transaction are shown.
* Transaction Journal always shows all splits in every transaction in
this register, each split on a separate line. Since most transactions
contain just two splits, this can look like a "double-line mode".

I recommend you try each of these four settings in a register of yours.
Now that you know what to look for they should make more sense.
