Well, actually I can - though I understand I shouldn't. Even though the
numbers don't add up, the reconciliation is accepted.

I have two moves in the menu you mention (reconcile lines), both for the
same party and account:

move name     reference debit   credit
103  20110100 20110042  0.00    83.32
42   20110042           176.72  0.00

Here, move 103 is a credit note for one of the invoice lines in move 42.
I'd like to reconcile these, or rather make it obvious that the invoice
line involved is marked as paid, and therefor invoice 20110042 is
partially paid for.

If I select both, hit 'reconcile lines', select the same journal and
account used for the invoice/credit_note, the invoice changes state to
'paid'. Smells fishy to me, but I'm not an accountant :-)

I did a rgrep on the code and noticed. But I'm not processing bank
statements here - which is what I thought account_statement appears was for.

That button is for cash payments only, afaict. But I'll start playing
with statements. Thanks for the feedback. Appreciated.
