Actually you still haven't stated it clearly.  The question is what does
the Opening Balance show when you reconcile?  If this is the first time you
have reconciled it then it should show zero (unless the opening balance has
been already reconciled).  If it is not zero then that means some
transactions have already been reconciled (possibly accidentally).  If you
go to the account and then View > Filter By > Status > Reconciled then it
should show you just the reconciled transactions.  Clear the reconcile
state on all these and you should be good to start the reconcile with a
starting balance of zero.  Then the Opening Balance in the account should
match the Starting Balance on your bank statement so you can reconcile that
one.
