Not sure what the bug would be. You reconciled the transaction and then moved it. Should gnucash de-reconcile the entry? Personally, I don't really know; arguments could be made either way. One point to realize (and that others hinted at) is that the starting balance for the reconcile window

Liz, That would seem to imply that some transactions have been marked as reconciled somewhere in the account history, not necessarily a single transaction for $6300. One possible suggestion, have you cleared all filters that might restrict the date range displayed for the account? There may be
