Hello, folks:

I have been catching up on reconciliation of a few credit card accounts
this weekend. For one credit card account, when I click the "Finish"
button to complete the reconciliation, a Transfer Funds dialogue appears
automatically. It has the ending balance of the credit card account
filled in, and is set to transfer from a convenient chequing account to
the credit card account.

Christopher:

Right you are! Unchecking the checkbox setting in Preferences… Register… Reconciling… Automatic credit card payment does in fact stop this Transfer Funds dialogue from appearing.

I think the documentation on Reconciliation should describe this better than it does. I opened enhancement requires Bug 797950 - "Reconcilation docs don't mention automatic credit card payment feature" <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797950> to track this.

Only this one credit card account behaves this way. For other credit
card accounts, finishing the reconciliation does not cause a Transfer
Funds dialogue to appear.

I looked at the other two accounts, describing credit cards, for which the Transfer Funds dialogue did not appear. It turns out that I had set up these two Accounts as type Liability, rather than as type Credit Card. It had not made a difference for me until now.  I have other Accounts of type Credit Card, but I had not tried to reconcile them yet.

Thank you for your help.
