Maturity Dates Report - Why does a Treasury appear twice?

ChicagoGuy

When I run a Maturity Dates Report for Bonds and CDs, one of my US Treasuries appears twice.

• First entry is correct reflecting the purchase but
• The second is wrong - showing zero shares and zero balance. 

If I click on the entry showing zero shares, it shows the coupon interest payment. I attached a screenshot of report and transactions for the treasury. Why is a cash coupon payment appearing? Why it would it show an entry with zero shares?

My opinion is that the Maturity Report is very old and not very completely thought out.

I speculate that your second line is because your second transaction appears to be a MiscInc transaction to a specialized category you created.  That may have thrown the report off-balance so it listed something.  A quick test in my file seems to confirm that.  Recording the interest as an Interest action does not yield that second line in the maturity report.
