I understand that, I'm kind of amazed that the formatting issue did
not have a test to catch it since reports do have some unit tests.

I'm positive, in fact I'm so sure that I always took this behavior for
granted, today when I needed to create a report after I changed some
transaction dates at first I was like: what in the world is going on
!??

If it would have been enough I would not have reported it as "severe".

Attached, steps to reproduce:
1. Open the transactions by account report
2. Change a transaction date
3. Observe that the order is wrong
4. Close the report
5. Reopen it and observe that the order is still wrong
6. Save the file and repeat steps 4,5 with the same result

See attached screenshots, the combo is "User defined" until I select
31.05.2017 the it automatically switches to the "Last month", but I
don't want that because the last month is relative, I want to keep it
absolute, the report for May should always show data from May.

You mean 2 totals, why not?
