Hi,  
I tested the “enable receiving income as asset and reinvesting” function and there seems to be something wrong with the resulting balance display. See the attached screenshot, the balance was 727.951 on 24/12/2023, then on 13/12/2024 a dividend was receiving and reinvested as 14.317 new shares, then the new balance should be 727.951 + 14.317 = 742.268 ? This is from the list of transactions, if I look at the assets or positions list the quantity is corrected updated.

The balance is correctly updated. Reinvestment is done in a separate, hidden transaction. The next transaction would have the correct balance on it. It’s not an easy fix, so I won’t be able to change it quickly, but will add it to the backlog.
