How can I make the green summary task ONLY show the total days I actually worked, and not the total span from the start of the first one to the end of the second one.
Have you considered showing the Work field to show much work was actually accomplished during the duration? As you have discovered Duration <> Work. The duration counts the number of working days between the start of the earliest subtask to the end of the latest subtask. You can have a situation where there are large gaps between subtasks that will be reflected in the summary task duration. However, the work for the subtasks will be summarized correctly.
