In/Out Activity does not affect numbers as expected (Activity and Rainfall this month) #362

Taking money from a bucket and releasing back into the budget by way of a negative rainfall (i.e. -100 In/Out) causes the Activity amount to change. Adding that money back in does not alter the Activity again.
A similar issue happens to the "Rainfall this month" amount in the bucket menu (clicking the ellipses). The example indicates that it has rained 200 this month when in reality the same 100 was put in twice.

Bucket Balance In/Out Activity Rainfall this month
Groceries 0 - 0 0
+100
Groceries 100 - 0 100
-100
Groceries 0 - -100 100
+100
Groceries 100 - -100 200

This leaves us with 100 in groceries as before but now it appears that 100 has been spent when in reality nothing has happened. It also appears that I've put 200 into this account when in reality I've only put same 100 in twice.


I think what I imagined the Rainfall this month was supposed to be indicating was how much has been taken out and put in over the course of a single month that was not an Transaction based amount (ie a positive expense into Groceries as a refund etc would not be Rainfall/income as I understand it).
Activity, however, would show all the changes to the amount in a given account through the month. In/Out through the buckets menu and transactional changes (spending/receiving monies by way of the Transactions/Accounts menu)
So I think the bug is that the Activity is not taking in consideration monies that have been added through the In/Out box and the Rainfall this month is not taking into consideration monies that have been taken out through the In/Out box.

Edit: I got a little lost in the bug and had to unravel my brain. Its better now.
