In each transaction window, there is a column with ticks (check marks is US English). This doesn't appear to be mentioned in documentation, but I use it to mark when a transaction has cleared the associated real world account.
Assuming this is it's intended use, it would be very useful to have an option in the balance indicators at the bottom of the screen where the cleared and uncleared balances could be viewed. I had assumed that the option 'Filtered Balance' provided this feature - however, it doesn't appear to do so.
