Reconciling Pre-History

Hi all,

Is there any way to reconcile additional historical transactions entered
AFTER completing reconciliation on an account?

I've found one or two old messages out there indicating that I should just
be able to use the regular Reconcile feature and just check off any
remaining old transactions (presumably so long as the closing balance is
still valid) and it would reconcile ok.

What I'm finding, however, is that, even though all the new (old)
transactions are pre-checked, and the ending balance is correct (even
selecting the same date and amount as was used in the previous successful
reconciliation) I cannot complete the reconcilation, because the difference
presented is non-zero, so the Finish button remains disabled.

With another account, running into the same issue, I got around it by
manually marking the old transactions as reconciled directly in the
.gnucash file xml. Worked fine when I only had a dozen transactions to deal
with, but this time I've got hundreds, and it sure would be nice if I could
just use the reconcile window.

Thanks,
Pete
