I imagine so, although I wasn't around at design time.  Certainly, it 
has been this way as long as I can remember, without query, I believe.

When the transaction in question does not have focus, the amount shown 
is the value of the transaction without taking into account cash-flow 
direction, in the same way as for a Buy and a Sell.  In focus, the 
Interest becomes visible, showing direction.
