[GNC] Reconciliation is not adding up correctly - what to do??

[Larry Long]

 If your reconciliation is not balancing, it might be worth a quick scan to ensure that any items that you know were reconciled previously are still registered as "cleared".
Over the past year [v3.4, Win10], I've had several occasions where my reconciliation for a credit card or bank account would not balance.  During the most recent two instances, I happened to notice that one or two items that I had reconciled the previous month were showing as "uncleared".  As soon as I checked them, my balance came out OK.

It is not immaterial in the sense that if it does not match that from
the bank statement then something is wrong, or at least unusual, such
as is the very first reconcile in which case the first transaction
should be the initial balance which should match the opening balance
on the statement.
