Public bug reported:

OpenERP server 6.0.3
GTK Client 6.0.3

When an account balance is negative in the G/L, it is nevertheless shown
without sign on the balance sheet.

This yields the following weird situation.
Start with a database without any booking entries and all accounts on 0
Make this booking:

110510 PL Bank 1000D
110200 Debtors 1000C

In the G/L this shows up as
Debtors
Debit 0
Credit 1000
Balance -1000

PL Bank
Debit 1000
Credit 0
Balance 1000

On the balance sheet, this situation is now shown

Assets
PL Bank 1000
Debtors 1000

Balance 0

Now, Balance 0 is correct.
However, if you add all the amounts up you don't end op with 0

True, balance accounts should not be negative. Before presenting the balance sheet the Debtors account should have been
transferred to the Liability side.
But while checking the balance it is weird to see that a negative account balance is presented positive.
Without checking all accounts on the trial balance, it is impossible to find out where this goes wrong.
