pedantic.
Although the meaning is clear where you have used contra in this context,
the term contra account is generally used in accounting with a very specific
meaning which is unrelated to the usage here to des
Beyond inconvenience questions, I think error questions are more
weighty. If the engine creates a balancing split, you see it and
react. And if, for some reason, you don't see it, you'll catch it later
by noticing that the imbalance account has non-zero balance.

The problem for GnuCash is that when you have duplicated a previous
transaction and then edit it, GnuCash has no way of knowing what your
intentions are. The engine is currently setup to maintain a transaction in
balance as it is edited. When you change the value of one split of the

Interesting idea...
I would like to see it implemented as a pop-up dialog asking the user if
(s)he would like to update the 'other side' to the same value if it is a

I have the habit of duplicating previous transactions rather than entering
the whole thing afresh.
