It sounds like you are being confused by the change output.

Here is what is happening:
-Lets pretend you receive 1BTC to your address X

-You send 0.6BTC to address Y

-What Bitcoin Core does is it sends 0.6BTC from address X to address Y, then it generates a new address, called a change address, and sends the remaining 0.4BTC on address X to the change address.

The purpose of this is to increase the privacy and security of your transactions. It makes it more difficult for someone to track your coins.

This is a basic explanation, it actually works different to this. More explanation here:

...

This must be the case.

@OP, use WalletExplorer.com it shows balance for the entire wallet (not only for particular address). If the balance is the same, then there's nothing to worry about. Although note that it's not real time updated, so the most recent tx may not be included.

Edit:

If you click 'show wallet addresses' you'll se that the balance is currently spread over 3 addresses:

1KWfhUGT9XSZ6vW9WzWXUa3iyonepa9AbM    3.32455183

Transactions don't happen magically. As the former poster stated, you've prolly been hacked through some sort of keylogger and whatnot. Sad to see.

You can see all of those "Change" addresses, Also you can choose it.
it's called "coin control", you can activate it via: "settings, options, wallet, tick: enable coin control features"

Here are the screen caps about those change addresses: https://i.imgur.com/t7LIknu.png

He's prolly not been hacked, as he himself stated that he didn't lose a single satoshi. As the former posters stated, it's prolly the issue of change addresses.

if you have doubts about your tx being accurate or as you say "a bug" in blockchain.info" you can use other block explorers to check your address. there are a lot of them to use
