This is because the distance to your goal is reduced based on your deposits, not withdrawals since you need to add money into an account to get closer to a goal. It looks like you have a withdrawal of $300 which is why your goal increased instead of decreased. If this is a transfer from Checking to Savings, update the deposit transaction with your goal category instead.

Goal not clear
I set a goal of 1500 with 300 allocated per month. after my first month the 300 was added to the goal resulting in 1800. Shouldn't the result be 1200 indicating that I am closer to my goal? it might be useful to provide a cumulative total toward to goal in a separate column. Thus a goal and a progress toward the goal column.
