I took another look at your initial report screenshot.
It is correct and *not* reversed.
There are some parts of it missing, but you can see them in my
screenshot version.
The main difference otherwise in our two reports is that you've listed
the Donations transaction first and the Checking transaction after. (not
sure how that worked out, because I thought they appear in their order
in the Account Tree, but I guess you have a customized reversed sorting
order in Options > Sorting > Primary Sort Order > Descending. Default is
Ascending)
The first line then, is from the perspective of the Donations account.
In that account, the amount is a credit and that is what the report
shows, with the transfer account being Checking.
The second line is from the perspective of the Checking account, and
that amount is a debit (also correctly shown) with the transfer account
being Donations.
I can't find an option to turn off the Account name. I'm guessing you
copy/pasted the lines or blocked out that part resulting in missing labels.
Look at my screenshot again showing both accounts ,and the extra labels
and info, which should make the report more clear.

Peter,
Yes, I caught all of that.
I'm referring to default options of the report - not GnuCash generally.
If you have the report still open, close it.
Now, run it again. Note, you shouldn't get anything at first except a
page telling you that you need to set options first, particularly to
choose accounts.
Click the Options button on the toolbar, on the Accounts tab, select
only the Checking account. Set the date range however you like in the
General tab, but narrowing it down to the one day of the transaction
will remove cruft. Do not change any other report options.
You should now see a list of transactions on that date affecting the
Checking account.
Is it correct?
Note, if you have only that one transaction, you should see only one
line in the report, not two.
Now, edit the Options > Accounts again, and this time, select *both*
Checking & Donations and click Apply.
Now, you should see separate sections of the report, one for each
account with subtotals and you'll see the same transaction twice, once
from the perspective of the Checking account, and the other from the
perspective of the Donation account.
I've done a sample transaction with similarly named Asset & Revenue
accounts and attached screenshots of the register, the Transaction
Report with just Checking selected, and the Transaction Report with both
Checking & Donation accounts selected.
If your report doesn't look exactly like this save for the specific
Description and amount, something is off.

Hi, Adrian,
My first image shows a single transaction (the "wepay to checking"
transaction). But I separately pasted in the Checking balance from the
previous transaction, which is not fully shown. I wanted the reader to
see
that indeed the transaction I did show raised the Checking balance. And I
also pasted in the header line from the top of the page.
I'm not sure which default/non-default options you are referring to.
If you
mean using Debit/Credit headers as register labels instead of
Increase/Decrease, I tried it both ways and it didn't change the
appearance
of the transaction report.
