Mark, I'm on Ubuntu 17.10 and I'm not seeing this issue...the reconcile 
screen and associated functions work fine.

Do you know if you are using the Wayland screen renderer or the old 
X-org. X11 renderer?  if you're not sure, restart Ubuntu and on the 
screen where you enter your user password there is a little gear icon 
near the password dialog box.  Click on that.  One of the choices that 
appear will mention Wayland, another will mention X-org.  There may be 
others, depending upon the video in your computer.

Anyway, I believe that Ubuntu may default to using Wayland. That should 
be indicated in the dialog.  Select the X.org option and continue your 
normal login.  See if the problem with the reconcile screen persists.
