I have had a similar experience. Afaicr, the starting balance never
coincided, so I thought it was because of (particularly?) income
transaction(s) that hadn't cleared. I was able after a bit of detective
work, based on my Quicken experiences, to find the anomalies. Now
however, like Jack, it is always awry. I am only able to 'reconcile' by
creating an 'orphan'
Most of the time I don't bother, if the difference is small, assuming it
to be finger probs in entering data, but I do wonder why the balances
don't align.
I have found that forgetting to 'c' items in the banks a/c, causes
issues with reconciling.

For the past few months the starting balance shown by GNUcash did not match

balance shown by GNUcash for the previous months statement did indeed match the

would again match with the bank statement. I could not figure out what was
going on but since the closing balance matched the bank statement I did not
pursue it further.
Until now. This month the starting balances do not match and it will not
reconcile as it has in the past. The amount shown as out of balance does not
match the difference between GNUcash's starting balance and the Banks starting
balance. Something is out of whack someplace and I have no idea where to even
begin to get it corrected.
Any ideas? I could just start a new checking account and start fresh, but I
have 7 years' worth of transactions in the checking account and would rather
not lose that data.
