## UI surprises
### What are these extra amounts with no account name in the balance report ?
A journal entry like this:
```journal
1/1
a 1
b
```
gives the error `hledger: could not balance this transaction (can't have more than one missing amount; remember to put 2 or more spaces before amounts)`, because there needs to be at least two spaces separating account names and amounts, eg like this:
```journal
1/1
a 1
b
```

In most hledger reports, like Ledger, account balances containing multiple commodities are displayed on multiple lines, one per commodity.
In the register command these lines are top-aligned, in the balance command they are bottom-aligned.
In [multi-column balance reports](manual.html#multicolumn-balance-reports), multi-commodity amounts are displayed on one line instead, comma-separated.
