Craig: I updated to the latest version of ledger.el from MELPA just now, and I still have the problem. I do not have any periodic transactions.
I am not able to reconcile any of my accounts, but one of them that is really holding me back is named Assets:MidFirst-Checking. All of the accounts that I balance have names in this form (Assets:Institution-AccountName). Pertaining to your theory about account name mangling: I usually launch reconcile with C-c C-r while my cursor is on a line with the desired account name. In that scenario, I have noticed that ledger.el does not always get the account name right. Sometimes when it prompts for the account name with the default already filled in, the default is not correct -- it also includes the amount field from that line, with the punctuation characters escaped with backslashes. But even if I manually correct this, or if ledger guessed the right account name in the first place, I get a lockup as soon as I press Enter on the account name. Thanks for your persistence, Craig.
