Well, retried it with a fresh pair of eyes, but I couldn't get it to
work. Sorry to bother you with this again.

The laptop was 499,95. I paid 485 in cash and 14,95 with bank card.
1. I go to the cash account and enter a new withdrawal
	Payto: Laptop Shop
	Amount: 485
2. Hit the Split button
3. Split details:
	Checking account: -14,95
   This gives me:
   Sum of splits: -14,95
   Unassigned: 499,95
   Transaction amount: 485,00
4. Choose OK
5. Select "Leave total amount of transaction at 485,00"
6. Enter the split again. (Still in the Cash ledger)

Now the split editor looks different:
I have one split for Checking at 485,00
The status bar says:
Sum of splits: 485,00
Unassigned: 0,00
Transaction amount: 485,00

I'm at a loss here. Throwing swimming floats appreciated!

Thanks,
Koos
