Oh no, 10 minutes ago the total balance was available and now the old situation has returned! this is how it looks (again):

avail: 0.0002
pend: 2.8
total:  2.8002
I'm flabbergasted, this can't be Shocked

Can you try this:
Click Settings > Options > Wallet > Enable coin control features > OK
Click Send > Inputs > check the "Received with address" for your 0.0002BTC.
Is that address 16u1VqPgTnGrAXQreLFBbVoUkgaATeHXKA ? (It should be)

Anyways 2.8 pending is better then 0 total Wink
But it can't be after a zap & rescan, it should be confirmed. Something is definitely off.

thanks guys (will make my payment from electrum then LoyceV Wink )
Download Electrum, set up a new wallet, safely write down and store your word seed phrase, and sweep your private key from Bitcoin Core. Don't bother importing, just sweep it onto a new address in Electrum and go from there.

To get your private key out of Bitcoin Core:
Click Help > Debug Window > Console > Enter walletpassphrase yoursupersecretpassword 300
(the above unlocks your wallet for 300 seconds)
Enter dumpprivkey 16u1VqPgTnGrAXQreLFBbVoUkgaATeHXKA
This should show the private key. Sweep it into your brand new Electrum (and pay a high enough fee).

Assuming you have the private key to 16u1VqPgTnGrAXQreLFBbVoUkgaATeHXKA, this should work. If you don't have the private key, you're screwed Sad

DO NOT post the private key!

Update: you keep saying 2.8, and I assume that's the 2.9 from 633f05443310c5012c5a0360299c3627b8d838af1fbe4aa4a4ab20d74521d04b. I'm starting to think the 2.8 is from a different transaction, that would mean the 0.0002 is from a different address, and that would mean 16u1VqPgTnGrAXQreLFBbVoUkgaATeHXKA isn't part of your wallet.
