Hello, Liz:

Are any of the transactions in that account reconciled? Do you have a
"starting balance" transaction in that account, perhaps created when
you created the account?

The reconciliation model for GnuCash assumes that you start by
reconciling the earliest transactions, and move forward sequentially
in time, reconciling bit by bit.  When you start a reconciliation,
GnuCash adds up all the reconciled transactions for that account,
regardless of date, and that becomes your starting balance.

Does this help?

Best regards,

No Jim

I know perfectly well how reconcile works.
I have not reconciled this account ever.
NO transactions are reconciled
The starting balance is $1.87

I am mystified about $6,300, so I did a find for that value on the
entire account tree and found nothing of that value.

Try to reconcile another account that has never been reconciled.  If that comes up with a non-zero number then create a new account and attempt to reconcile with no entries.  If that comes up with a non-zero amount then you have found a bug.

What I'm wondering is if there are no entries to add up the module might not be handling the results correctly.
