[GNC] Strange reconciliation behavior

[Art Chimes]

Strange to me, anyway.

I have a long-closed U.S. mutual fund account (call it ABCDX) that was
never reconciled since I started using GnuCash a year ago. Now I want
to reconcile it, and I'm tackling it year-by-year.

I reconciled the first year closing balance, 5,898.936 shares, without issue.

Problems arose when I tried to reconcile the second year. I entered
the statement date and the number of shares shown on the statement as
of that date. The "Reconcile Information" box correctly shows the
Starting Balance as 5,898.936 ABCDX shares.

I clicked OK and the reconciliation window popped up. To my surprise,
the info box in the lower right corner now shows the Starting Balance
as 0 shares ABCDX, as if the first year's transactions were never
reconciled. As a result I cannot reconcile this account.

I am using GC 3.9 on Windows 10. I searched unsuccessfully in the
usual places for an answer; my apologies if I missed it. Thank you
all.
