I did

It is adding what I did not check off as being on the statement.
GRRRRRRR

Wait an extra month to get those charges that did not pass on
the current month

If I do that, then I could reconcile as the date would be
inside the statement period. I do not what to do that.

Maybe what I should do is what I have been doing, which
is to

1) use the box on the lower right of the reconcile
dialog to see if I balance with my ending date of
my current statement

and

2) use Balance with the starting date of my current
statement, so a month behind.
