Jack,

I don't see what you are describing for transaction 
T000000000000040026.  I can find the transaction and if I double click 
on it, it takes me to the ledger.  If I right click on it, I get a menu 
that has an option to take me to the ledger for the payee.  If I take 
that option, the transaction is not in the ledger.  I get the same thing 
for both results of the transaction search.
