Starting balance off

Another question:  are you sure that you didn't incorrectly take gnucash's
suggestion of an ending balance?  Some people mistakenly do that instead
of inputting the correct balance from their statement.  That could also
expose the issue.

Unfortunately tracking down a change like this can be very challenging,
and the tools we have are not very good to help.  Partly it's because
gnucash does try to prevent these kinds of changes, but still allows you
to make them.

Another possibility is that a reconciled transaction became unreconciled?
