I am now happy that there is no problem with the starting balance calculation in 3.9 and the problem was caused by a previously undetected finger problem on my part and withdraw my previous qualms about retaining it for the future.
I still think it is excessive to restrict the reconciliation date entry in any way but agree that a warning should be displayed if either a statment date in advance of "today" is entered, perhaps with the option for the user to confirm that they either want to retain the advance date or reenter it in a popup dialog. Also agree with a warning if any reconciled transactions with reconcile dates in advance of today are detected in the file. I am less sure about assigning them to an arbitrary past date however. If a procedure for correcting them is developed it might be helpful if it could display data for transactiions with reconciled splits which have the advance date. The information that I found most useful to determine when I made the error were the transaction date posted and the transaction date entered into GnuCash and the reconciliation date and the account name or at least the account guid to confirm that all the affected splits are to a single account. This was particularlyuseful to me because i append an "_R" to statement pdf files I have reconciled and the file modified time allows me to determine the date I did a recociliation. In future I will append "_Ryyyymmdd" so i don't have to look up the modified times for the files as well.
