What happened?

When I try to reconcile an account with a negative balance on the Desktop app, it always interprets the number I enter as a positive value, even if I entered a negative one. For example, if I have an account with balance -100 and I put "-150" in the reconciliation tool, it will say "your cleared balance -100 needs +250 to match your bank's balance of 150" as if I entered "+150" instead.

I encountered this problem in the Windows Desktop App (v25.3.0), but the web app (Firefox, Windows 10) worked fine--I was able to reconcile my negative account balances without any problems.

How can we reproduce the issue?

In the sample budget I attached, try to reconcile the Test Credit Account to a value of -150. It should give the message "Your cleared balance -100.00 needs +250.00 to match your bank's balance of 150.00", which is incorrect because the value you input to reconcile was -150, not 150.

Whoops, forgot that GitHub only searches open issues by default so I didn't see the duplicate. Sorry about that!
