Hi Jack,

Thanks for getting back to me.

I noticed that in my proofing exercise yesterday I actually documented the more
generic case where a transaction that had its state changed from withdrawal to
deposit was keeping the original withdrawal aspect around as a transaction
after it had been updated to turn it into a deposit in the ledger portion of
the application.

I checked in the "Transactions by Account" report and it correctly does not
show the original withdrawal transaction but only shows the updated deposit
entry after changing the original withdrawal entry in the ledger.

I took your advice and closed down KMM and restarted it to get any refresh
issues out of the way and it still showed the wrong thing in the "Cash Flow
Transactions this Month" report.

So it seems like KMM is keeping this original transaction around in its
transaction storage even though it shouldn't. Maybe it's marked for a deletion
that never happens and some of the reports may look at this state and ignore
this transaction while others might gloss over the transaction state and end up
reporting it anyway even though it shouldn't.

Of course it depends on what the coder's intent is (like keeping history around
for some reason, but none the less results in problems being exposed like this)
as to whether this original state is valuable or not.

So this is probably the same original bug, just manifesting itself in a simpler
and clearer way.

Let me know if you need any other help or info on this.

Sorry - some of my comments (widget placement) actually belong to a different
bug I was looking at at the same time.  There have been some changes to the
report code, but it would be a new bug if a report didn't reflect the most
recent state of the data.
