What happened?

This is revisiting #1215 which the previous author closed.

I just ran into this same confusion myself and think it should be considered as a bug because:

  • Transaction amounts in the list are always displayed as positive to the user. From a design perspective this makes the use of negatives less discoverable and the affordance of the filter worse.
  • The option to change the filter to specifically inflow or outflow suggests the default should operate on both - which is significantly less useful if the values can never be the same due to their sign.

Expected behaviour would be that filtering by "Amount" matches both outflow and inflow transactions by their absolute values.

What error did you receive?

No response

Worth noting you can work around this by making an any condition filter as needed, but I still think the default behaviour appears broken to the average user.
