There's no way to know without more detail why you're routinely off. And
I'd probably never enter an adjusting transaction unless I'm absolutely
certain of what it was.
Considering you found an already reconciled transaction this month,
could you perhaps be simply checking everything off each time? (or at
least checking off everything within a date range?)
Or maybe you just erroneously checked off that transaction, and you
should not have, which is why you thought you needed to enter an adjustment.
I'd bet dimes to dollars that a more careful and thorough review of your
reconciliations will allow you to delete most if not all of those
adjusting transactions.
I second the comments of Derek and others. 99.99999999% of the time, it
is me, not GnuCash, making the mistake. Accounting is about being
meticulous and methodical.

I've been using GC for several years now, and notice that I sometimes can't
get cards to balance, I have to add an imbalance amount. Then this
month, I noticed that a charge that was on this month's statement
and not last month's statement was already marked as reconciled in GC.
Has anybody else noticed anything like this?
I don't even know how to track this kind of thing down, whether it's
a bug, or I'm just getting older and senile. :-)
Ideas?
