Paul, I confirm the behavior you describe, and I can tell you that it's been in that dialog for a very long time. I believe it has always behaved that way for me (and I've been using Gnucash over a decade). It probably is a bug, but I just used the same workaround that you found, and moved on.

Make sure that the reconciliation "beginning date" is the same as that on your statement. A different date will create a different beginning balance. In any case, don't change the balance manually, unless you have a good reason to. On 2017-06-05 10:10, EngineInstitute wrote: John, What
