Bug: If a currency other than the enterprise currency, the totals are handled correctly, but the "Debit" and "Credit" values for each transaction still appear in the enterprise currency.

Suggestions

This isn't a bug, it is by design - the column "value" and "balance" are the only ones shown in a different currency, with the exchange rate in the rate column. Any invoice or receipt will be issued in the enterprise currency, so it makes it easy to compare the writings in the general ledger (always in the enterprise currency) with the physical documents, while still giving you an idea of what the balance would be if you magically converted all the numbers to another currency.

The final row is for the balance of the sum of the range selected - not the closing balance. It might make sense to change the language from "opening balance" to "starting balance" and "ending balance", that way we don't get confused with the closing/opening balances of a fiscal period.
