My guess is that your "Joomla Administrator" account is linked to the "Test Gmail" Civi contact.

A Joomla ID will have a clickable link that will take you to the Joomla Account profile.</p>

Body: <p>I logged into the back end as "Joomla Administrator". I manually processed a new membership for user "Sheridan Test14". The renewal correctly shows in the membership, contribution, and activity for Sheridan Test14. However, the activity indicated added by "Gmail Test." Test GMail contact has activity that matches the activity in Sheridan Test14. Why is the transaction associated with the contact "Test Gmail" and not contact "Joomla Administrator"?</p>
  
  <p>The membership form uses a price set, price field = Membership Dues financial type and price field 2 = Publications. Does it matter that a Price set is used?
  Thanks, 
  Kate</p>
