You might want to scroll down your list of transactions in the
reconciliation window and make sure nothing is checked that you
didn't explicitely check yourself. I ran into a similar problem
and found out that gnucash will automatically put a checkmark
next to all transactions that are marked "cleared", no matter
whether they're before or after your reconciliation date.
