account limits

[Jeremy Whiting]

Hello,

Been using KMM for years. I recently updated my windows installation from
5.0.x to 5.1.2 and added some new credit accounts to it and noticed some
strangeness on the home screen. When I added a 75 cent charge to one new
account that had a limit set of $5000 the home screen showed it's "To
minimum balance/Maximum credit" as ($5000.73) somehow. Looking in the .xml
file I see accounts I added previously and set limits on have a negative
maxCreditAbsolute, but this new one I just created in 5.1.x has a positive
maxCreditAbsolute. Should that value be positive or negative? I also notice
accounts with the negative values there don't show any values if I look at
the "Limits" tab on the Edit Account dialog.

I think either:

All credit accounts need to have either positive or negative limits, and
the gui needs to reflect what the value is, even if negative.

or

The calculation of "To minimum balance/Maximum credit" is backwards somehow.

Not sure which, or when it changed/broke. I think it used to work fine in
5.0/4.x days.

If it makes sense I can add a bug to bugzilla. Just wanted to get some
feedback on if both negative and positive limits are expected, etc. first.

BR,
Jeremy Whiting
