    Sorry for the trouble! We’d definitely like to improve the way “Settle all balances” works – I’ll pass on this suggestion and see if it’s something we can fix when we work on improving our settling up stuff.

    Situation:
    Supposing there are two people - person1 & person2, and they are part of two groups say group1 & group2. Person1 owes person2 a finite amount of money in each of the groups. There's a problem in settling up.

    Case 1:
    Person1 goes into individual groups and settles up. In this case, in each group, an entry is made saying "Person2 _received_ $xx from person1." Here, it means this is recorded as a payment against an already existing amount owed. This is fine.

    Case 2:
    Person1 does "settle all balances" with person2, from the overview of the app. In this case, it creates an entry in each group which reads "Person2 _owes_ $xx to person1." The difference in this case is that, this transaction is added as an *extra expense*. Even though the balances settle up, the group totals and the "your share" part goes up by $xx, in the group. This doesn't happen is case #1.

    I think the final behavior in case#2 should also be similar to case#1. Looks like a bug? Please check.
