This behavior hasn't changed in MoneyWell and manual money flows won't affect the Allocate Income process unless you do one prior to the allocation. The reason most people haven't noticed this is that the two actions are supposed to work together. You can either create money flows the automated way (Allocate Income) or the manual way (drag and drop buckets). > When the allocate income panel pops up, it shows a bunch of values > that will be added to the buckets... are these the real values that > will be added to the buckets, or are the going to be adjusted by other > money flows that have been added during the month?

If you want to add more to a bucket, you can even do it on that panel by changing the New Flow column value. All the money flows are real values and you can always see if you filled to the planned amount or over for the month by reviewing the graph. The Allocate Income panel shows money flows that exist in the bucket and the new flows next to that so you can also see what you are putting into the bucket at that time and adjust it.
