Rich,
One possible cause for this is a transaction (or more) accidentally entered
since the time you were last getting correct reconciliations at a date sometime
in the past. This has occurred for me sometimes when I have mistyped a date
entry, particularly the year, on entry. e.g date went in as

Well that would implicate data corruption

Do you by chance have sub-accounts at play, and are you including them
in the reconcile? Sub-accounts *shouldn't* matter because 'if done
correctly' they shouldn't affect the parent balance, and serve just as a
segregation/classification tool. But the caveat is that transactions
there might be
Reconciled entries *are* marked read only. If you aren't getting a notice on
editing, it's because you told gnucash not to notify you any more. That can be
reset somewhere in the preferences.

I run into such issues once in every one or two blue moons. The starting
balance is off.
I’ve reconciled successfully the previous month, but something somehow
(dis)appeared in the meantime. I assume it disappeared, although the symptoms
could be generated by something appearing.
I hope it’s

A possibility that has not been mentioned yet is if there are transactions
in more than one currency or involving securities. If so, there are many
possible additional sources of discrepancy. Also, if the discrepancies
suddenly appeared, say, after updating GnuCash to release 4.10, for
example,

Have been using GnuCash for a similar period of time and have not noticed any
reconciliation problems (other than those reported as bugs on the list - any
that are are generally fixed pretty quickly) up to v4.9, particulaarly in recent
versions. Haven't yet done a reconciliation with 4.10.

Dan,
I compare each transaction and haven't yet seen one with transposed digits.
Thanks for the suggestion,

Try downloading an ofx or csv file and try importing it. Let the computer
do the comparing for you.

Ed,
That's what I do. As I wrote, they all match.

Every now and then one of my bank accounts doesn't reconcile because what
the bank shows differs from what GnuCash shows. The amounts are significant.
What puzzles me is that the previous month's balances (bank and GC) match
and so do all the transactions. But, the end of month balances don't
21 matches
