Possible Bug in reconciliation - Gnucash 2.6 for Mac Mavericks

[David T.]

One quick alternative (especially given your assertion that you haven’t created any Scheduled Transactions): I have found that if I set the date in an empty transaction at the end of a register, and then click on another transaction in the register (as might happen if I want to copy an existing transaction and want the default date to be different than today), GnuCash creates a stub record for the date I selected. All I do to fix it is delete the ghost.

In your case, I’d imagine that you did that in each register, but then again, maybe not.
