SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug symbols.
See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Debugging/How_to_create_useful_crash_reports
***
On AppImage 5.1.504, Editing a split transaction "adds" any changed amount to the existing amount.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add new transaction selecting a similar previous one
2. Enter split transaction screen.
3. Click on an amount to edit.
4. Enter new amount and press enter. The number will change, but not to the amount you entered. 

OBSERVED RESULT
Tried to change a value of -1678 to value -1888 and the window showed -3566

EXPECTED RESULT
-1888 should have been shown

Comment 2 Thomas Baumgart 2023-06-07 15:13:55 UTC

That is by design. In your case, pressing the minus sign opens the calculator and subtracts the value you enter (1888) from the number that is already in the edit widget (-1678). That sum sure is -3566. A workaround is to clear the value in the widget first by pressing the delete button. Upcoming versions of KMyMoney have separate edit widgets for debit and credit values and there is no need to enter negative values anymore.
