Yes, I'm well aware of that... I NEVER double-click on the GnuCash files; I just bring up GnuCash itself and it uses (I presume) the last file I used, which is the only one I have.
So, it wasn't that. On Wed, I did the open on the Mac and they were missing (I thought that I may have forgotten to enter them, but that's never happened before for me). Today, I opened GnuCash on Windows and the transactions were definitely missing. The only thing I've done differently is that I've started running the gnucash command line updater more frequently. I have been running it on Friday nights, but this week I started running it Tue, Wed, and Thu. Wed (I think) I ran the update program and went to the latest version.
