Stephen,

I've only run into this issue with my credit card accounts, where I'm reconciling them each month.  I haven't tried or seen the issue in a case where multiple months have been involved.

I've also never seen the problem on any mortgage loan account either.  I tried a quick test just now on an old mortgage account that had never been reconciled (so lots of un-reconciled transactions).  And I can't reproduce the issue there either.  So our test results match in that regard.  But is there any way you could try testing specifically with a credit card account that you reconcile monthly, and that is currently up-to-date with its reconciliation except for the most recent month's transactions?

Stephen,

It's GnuCash version 5.16, Build ID: 5.16+(2026-06-27), on Windows 11.  But I don't think the GnuCash version has anything to do with this.  I've seen the same problem now on two earlier versions as well.

If you're trying to reproduce the problem on your system, the key factor is that there has to be a transaction in the account with a transaction date exactly equal to the ending date that you're typing into the Reconcile popup window.  And additionally, the ending balance that you're typing into the popup window needs to be an amount that excludes that transaction.

OK.  I have a Liability Account (Mortgage statement) that was a couple months since last reconciled.  I set the date to July 31 since that is the date of a the most recent payment.  Then I overrode the ending balance to ignore that last payment.  The override ending balance worked just fine (showed the amount I had typed in).

Unable to reproduce on my set of data.
