Mark,
I posted my comment about suggested date too soon. I forgot it is a
preference.

Hi, I just wanted to say wow, Gnucash has never suggested today as the
reconciliation date for me. It is typically 30 days/a month after the last
reconciled date, which I then need to adjust to the statement date about
half the time (if it's a day or two off). I can't remember it ever not

OK, that explains the difference in behaviour that I'm seeing to what
you're seeing. I have Preferences > Register > Reconciling > 'Always

Good catch. But that would imply some serious mass editing on the part
of the OP to clear the reconcile flag. (and most likely dimissing the
warning during those edits)
Neither is out of the question, but either or both would be rare for the
OP to not remember doing so.

Hi David, long in the past I probably reconciled multiple accounts in one
session without thinking about it, but after the first incident I started
saving after I reconcile each statement. This is the third time this has
occurred over about 5 years, prompting me to reach out about it instead of
of the previous reconciliation.

The reconciliation has been working well in GnuCash for 10-12 years that I have
been using GnuCash, currently 5.4 on Linux and bugs in it are usually picked up
pretty quickly as nearly everyone will be using it. I have just entered six
months of OFX files and reconciled them to the EOFY
Mark,
From this side of the Internet it almost appears that you are forgetting to
save the data file after reconciling, but always remembering to save other
times, which is not very likely.
Have you tried breaking down your procedure and inserting cross-checks?

The purpose of reconciliation is to verify that from the last closing
date to the new closing date, the listed transactions cleared the
account and thus explain the change from the opening balance (last
closing balance) to the new closing balance listed on the statement.
The actual
Unless you never enter a transaction after a reconciliation that is
dated before that last closing date, *and* you never have any
transactions that aren't reconciled at each and every reconciliation
(that is, some that haven't cleared the institution yet, but are in your
books) then you will

Hi, thanks, I'm certain I didn't add anything after the fact.

Did you perhaps modified/added/deleted transactions after
reconciliation? Any changes could easily break your reconciled
balance. This is typical in a double-entry system: you changed one
account and didn't realized it affected the balance of another. I guess
the only way to make the

One piece of data you don't provide: what OS/Distro are you using?
For example, if you are on a Mac, there is a known behavior that GnuCash

it. Even if you double-click on a GnuCash data file, GnuCash on Mac will
