I just want to weigh in that I have seen this behavior off and on for quite
awhile, though not consistently. I can't recall if it occurred before the
2.6.x series of GnuCash, and I never could figure out a pattern for when it
happened. I use Ubuntu, so it's not limited to just Windows builds.

If I recall, rather than a split view it's actually the General Ledger
view. I believe there's also some sort of different decoration on the tab
when it opens; maybe the title is italicized? Maybe it has an extra red X
mark? I don't recall for certain. Maybe Ed can take a screen shot to
document it better.

Being a long-time user and quite used to dealing with the various views, it
never bothered me much; it just seemed strange. After all, the register is
normally open when you're reconciling, so why would GnuCash open a strange
additional General Ledger tab when clicking a transaction in the "Funds In
/ Funds Out" reconcile dialog?

I don't recall seeing it do this in awhile, so it may not be a problem in
GnuCash 2.6.11. I would definitely recommend upgrading to see if it still
occurs.
