I just discovered the same thing myself yesterday. (I never use the report) I 
can’t imagine what utility that has. I also think it is a bug since the primary 
sort order was ‘date’ and there was an option to choose ‘reconciled date’ 
instead, but the general tab date range only operates on reconciled date.

This is quite strange. I certainly didn’t expect that behavior.

If one edits a transaction that is reasonably far back in history (say for some 
minor spelling error, or a refactoring of expense accounts) which then gets the 
reconcile flag unset and you have to re-reconcile to reset it, now that old 
transaction is going to show up on your current reconciliation report.

I had to re-reconcile some periods from 2016 not long ago for this very reason. 
When I ran the report yesterday to see reconciled transactions from 2018, I had 
old transactions mixed in. It seems it is impossible to get a report (without 
resorting to a spreadsheet workflow) that shows me what I wanted to see. (yes, 
I can run a filter on the register and then run a register report - I’m talking 
about using *this* report)

Is that intended?

With no way out?

Regards,
Adrien
