When I open the reconcile function, the window briefly flashes on the primary display and then disappears.  It is being displayed somewhere off the displays.   If I launch Mission Control, I can see both windows and they reposition as a pair, which is quite different from other apps windows.

It took me quite a while the first time to figure out how to coerce the reconcile window into the visible universe.  If I move the windows independently in Mission Control, the reconcile window remains invisible.

It’s certainly a Gtk issue, there’s nothing special GnuCash is doing. It may be something new with ElCap. I’ve been using GnuCash on a dual-monitor Mac Pro for many years without seeing this, but it’s still on Yosemite.
