Well, make completely sure. With the accounts page open, select View>Filter 
By... and make sure that all of the account types are selected on the “Account 
Type" tab and that Show hidden accounts is selected on the “Other” tab. There’s 
another way to get there as well: You can select Current Assets and select 
Edit>Open Subaccounts, which will open a register showing all of the 
transactions from Current Assets and all of its sub accounts in the normal 
order. That might help you see the transactions that drive it to a negative 
balance.

How much is the discrepancy? IOW, if you add up all of the (positive) totals 
showing in the first-level sub accounts and then add the opposite of the 
(negative) total showing in Current Assets, what’s the difference?

Are there any transactions in Current Assets? Being a placeholder prevents you 
from adding transactions from the register, but there are other ways that 
transactions can get into it, including being transferred there when you delete 
a sub-account. Double clicking on it won’t work because it’s a placeholder so 
you have to use Edit>Open Account or pick Open from the context menu when 
Current Assets is selected.
