If you take a moment while editing a multi-line transaction to be sure there is no residual balance at the bottom with no account assigned before hitting Enter, all is good.
A trick I found recently is to highlight the unassigned value at the bottom, then (Ctrl)Copy, move the curser to the line where the correction should go, then (Ctrl)Paste. The unassigned value will disappear. You may need to include a plus or minus sign if there is already a value present. Note that if there are values on both sides, GnuCash reduces them to a single positive value. Easier than using a minus sign!
