Transactions won't reconcile themselves, but you can clear them either
manually or via an import.
If you opened a backup by mistake, that would result in something
showing 'unreconciled' if the backup was before the reconciliation.
The only way to get the 'y' to appear in the register is through a
reconciliation. Which means you in fact checked it off a previous time.
You can re-do a reconciliation by changing all of the affected
transactions back to 'n' or 'c', and then trying again. Be sure to
remove any adjusting transactions you made during the last
reconciliation. You probably don't need them. (but can always re-create
if you do)
Then proceed with this months reconciliation.
In the future, if you ever notice transactions appearing 'c' or 'n' when
you know they should be 'y' means you've edited them in a manner that
will change the flag. (either in that register or one connected to the
transaction)
If you don't get warnings about this, go to Actions > Reset Warnings...
and adjust as needed.
When you edit a transaction and the flag changes (or you discover it
later) simply re-reconcile and clear the affected transaction(s). (and
if you are editing amounts, double check you didn't make an adjusting
entry, because again, you might no longer need it!)

Adrien

That's a good question and I think that could be an explanation
for the resurrection of the reconciled transactions which happened
quite awhile ago when I was new to GC.
But that doesn't explain how a transaction could become
reconciled on its own like the one that happened this month, which
tipped me over the edge to post about it.
