SYMPTOMS

When a transaction is split in Money 5.0 or later and a change is made to one of the split entry amounts, the total transaction amount (the sum of the split entries) is changed automatically in the register.

There is no warning that the total transaction amount will be changed nor that an adjustment must be made to the transaction's total amount.

CAUSE

Money assumes that if a change or correction is made to an amount in the Split dialog box, that the total amount entered in the register is also to be changed or undated.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
