Net Income Report: When spending is in opposite direction (meaning, income) plot it appropriately

Definitions:
Normal spending = Spending money so your net worth goes down
Negative Spending = Returning items, raising net worth
There are some months i have where spending is actually income because i returned more items than I spent. In December-February of this year I returned over $8,000 in items for a full refund [and used expense categories for the income transactions].
The NET INCOME chart plots spending as an absolute value, meaning -2000 is the same as 2000. This makes it impossible to know the difference on the spending on the net income chart (web only, not app which doesn't show you this). There are months where i might have -$2000 in spending and there are months where i might have $2000 in spending, there is a $4000 difference but on the chart you cannot tell.
This *is* a bug, or design flaw. I can live with it. There are probably more important things to fix.
