Weird.  I have never seen this behavior and I do a lot of invoices.

Some countries or provinces have funny tax rules.  In some places, or
example, whether an item is taxable depends on what else you buy (I wish I
were kidding).  So we came up with the idea of tax modules which could
calculate taxes based on all information in the invoice.  Currently only
'simple' is supported.

AR/Transactions are not supposed to autocalculate taxes.  The reason is that
you don't have enough information to know how much of a given line item is
taxable.  You either need to enter by hand or else use the sales invoice
screen.
