Tom, Yes, all the date stuff is irrelevant. The problem you describe is that the entry isn’t getting read before the dialog is closed and the ending balance is copied to the reconcile window. This seems closely related to https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=799650, which reported that under some circumstances using the enter key to complete the reconcile info dialog after editing the ending balance field didn’t read the new value in that field. As Sherlock said he fixed it a year ago.
Since none of us can reproduce the problem—and while nobody yet has tried on Windows it’s pretty unlikely to be OS related—you may have found a new corner case. Please record carefully, step by step, exactly what you type and click to reproduce the behavior. There are also some preferences that might be germane: What are your settings for Reverse Balanced Accounts in the Accounts page and all of the Reconcile options in the Register tab? One more possible difference: Are any of the splits cleared (the Reconcile column between the account and debit columns is ‘c’ instead ’n’?
