Setting bill reminder to Once Only shows double total in budget

You create a new Bill.

You set the amount for 100$ and set the payment period to ONLY ONCE

Make sure you choose a category, like HOME SERVICES

You need to choose a category for the bill because if you don't it won't appear in the budget.

In your Budget, under VIEW Options for the budget, make sure INCLUDE REMINDERS is checked.

If you now look at the ACTUALS column for HOME SERVICES, it will show $200.00 instead of $100.00

Also, when you click on the amount in the ACTUALS column and the little yellow window pops up, it will display the item correctly: (Name of Payment) and the amount: 100$

But the total at the bottom will show $200 which is double the actual amount in the bill reminder - and that double amount is shown in the ACTUALS column.

This has been an ongoing issue for a number of years now. Can someone please fix it? It is very annoying to have to use the workaround.

Thank you.
