Investment Account Bought Shares Showing Up As Negative Interest Income in Planning Tab

When I buy shares in my investment account, a negative cash amount is showing up as negative interest income in Planning. Anyone know how to stop this from happening?
Example: I buy 100 shares at $25 a share in January. "Action" in my fidelity account is showing as "Bought". Investment amount is showing as +$2500. Cash amount is showing as -$2500. Cash Balance column for the fidelity account goes down by $2500. I'm thinking all is good.
However, when I go over to the Planning Tab, under personal income, I'm showing the interest income line as -$2500 (negative) for the month.
Tried changing "bought" to "shares added" - it overstates the portfolio value by the $2500.
This isn't just for Fidelity - happening in some other investment accounts as well. Anyone else having this issue? If so, how did you resolve it?

how are you paying for the transaction, in other words how are you zeroing out the ($2500) ? if you don't "pay' for the transaction, then it would make sense that for planning purposes, something has to be reduced by $2500, hence the negative $2500 for interest income.
the way to 'solve it' is to bring in cash to cover the $2500 used to pay for the investment, i.e. the cash columns is zero.0
