That's interesting...

I used to have this in an older version of GnuCash (2.2.4, 2.2.5 ?). In my 
case it happened when matching my bank account registers with my bank's 
receipts.

Most of the bank transactions were already in the account, but in a different 
order than the receipts. If I would reorder the entries by adding a 
transaction number, the balances wouldn't update (it didn't trigger a 
recalculation of the balance ?). However, if I also changed the date for that 
transaction, eg add one day, substract one day, the balance would be 
recalculated. Similarly, closing the account and reopening it, would 
recalculate the balance correctly in my case.

I have not experienced this in more recent releases, so I never bothered to 
bring it up on the mailing lists. For the record, I'm now running GnuCash 
2.2.9.
