OK,

As I said, I started on 1.1.2018 with 'nothing' I entered the closing balance for 2017 for the a/c and started entering transactions.

Unfortunately, coming from Quicken, I didn't do any reconciliations until about December. But casually examining the entries from time to time they seemed 'ok' just a few centimes 'off' probably due to finger problems, as I had also experienced with Quicken and sorted them at year end.

The Opening Balance in the latest iteration of reconcile was what I showed in the screen grab a while back -

While the a/c entries starting entry shows the bank balance figure €3986.22 and the €5.117.09 ending balance tallies with the bank statement......

Aha, maybe there is another issue. When I do, as you suggested, View > Filter By > Status > Reconciled I get nothing!! even when I just chose 'reconcile' or 'select all'

:-( thanks for the help :-)

    No, as I said in the original post, I started on 1.1.2018 with
    GNU, so the first entry in this a/c should be the opening balance
    for the a/c from the bank statement, €3986.22. The ending balance
    is correct.


Actually you still haven't stated it clearly.  The question is what does the Opening Balance show when you reconcile?  If this is the first time you have reconciled it then it should show zero (unless the opening balance has been already reconciled).  If it is not zero then that means some transactions have already been reconciled (possibly accidentally).  If you go to the account and then View > Filter By > Status > Reconciled then it should show you just the reconciled transactions.  Clear the reconcile state on all these and you should be good to start the reconcile with a starting balance of zero.  Then the Opening Balance in the account should match the Starting Balance on your bank statement so you can reconcile that one.

    Do the starting and ending balances shown there match the ones on
    the bank statement you are reconciling against?

        I don't understand where you are seeing the figures you describe.  Can
        you post a screenshot showing it?

        This what I get at the bottom right hand side.
