Are you using Edit > Find or CTRL-F to search description/account, and use the resulting register (which looks like a normal register) to calculate totals? If so, I think the running balance is rather meaningless.
For your particular report I'd use the Transaction Report, depending on whether you've allocated vendors their own accounts, or just the Description.
