[GNC] No longer able to reconcile register accounts

[John Ralls]

Colin,

This smells like a recurrence of https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795080 <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=795080>, which I thought I’d fixed last spring... but yesterday is the first “live fire” test and it shows that my supposed fix didn't.

Regards,
John Ralls
