this bug is very similar to bug 647952 

in versions after 2.4.0, when an account contains sub-accounts, the
values shown for most vals other than "Total" are incorrect.

I use gnucash in german, but I think my screenshots show what I mean

In my test setup, "Girokonto" is an account with a balance of 200,00 and
"test" is a sub-account of "Girokonto" and has a balance of 300,00.

The "Total" displayed beside Girokonto should be 500,00 (its 200,00 plus the
300,00 from "test")

The "Saldo", "Aktuel", etc (don't know the english names of these cols, sorry)
should be 200,00.

This is not the case with versions after 2.4.0
