I just want to weigh in (as I did in response to Ed on February 28th) that
I, too, have seen this behavior, but I have not yet found the pattern.

I am using GnuCash under Ubuntu, and for quite awhile now, maybe starting
sometime in the 2.6.x series, when you double-click a transaction in the
Reconcile dialog, GnuCash SOMETIMES opens a NEW tab in a ledger view. This
is INSTEAD of switching to the (already open) account tab that was open
when starting the Reconcile process.

It is possible to switch to the "ordinary" tab with the transactions
displayed as they normally are, but you have to scroll around to find the
transaction you're editing. (I don't know if it's possible to change the
display of transactions in the new tab; I've never tried.)

Since for me this doesn't happen every time, and even though I have maybe
ten accounts I reconcile, it's not like I reconcile my accounts every day,
and even when I do I don't usually have to edit a transaction, SO I have
not seen it happen enough to even begin to search for a pattern. It does
seem, however, that when it has happened in a session, the funny tab will
open every time for that session. But maybe not the NEXT time.
