Post a screenshot (or put it somewhere accessible, not sure if you can
post images on this list) showing the reconcile window which will not
allow you to just ignore that entry, even if it is dated before the
reconcile date.
Just to check, you are entering the closing balance from the bank
statement aren't you, not from the GC balance?  If you can't do that
then post a screenshot showing that dialog instead.

This new version will not allow reconciliation until all transactions within the date span are marked off, meaning that if a cheque is entered, the date will have to be changed from the date it was written to the date it was presented.
