[GNC] Transaction Reconcile behavior differences

[John Nickell]

I recently switched from GnuCash on Linux Mint to GnuCash on Windows. I
brought the same GnuCash data file over between computers.

My checking account is setup in GnuCash as a parent account with multiple
sub accounts to the checking account.
When reconciling (including sub accounts) on Linux if I selected a
transaction that had multiple splits or was simply a transfer among sub
accounts, all of the transaction splits that were part of that same
transaction would also be marked as reconciled. (i.e. their box would be
checked and the reconcile balance would reflect a $0 change.)

When reconciling on Windows I'm having to reconcile each split individually
and if the transaction is between two sub accounts within the checking
account I must reconcile both the debit and the credit action separately.

Is this expected and desired on the Windows version of GnuCash, or is there
a setting I'm missing so that a reconciling "part" of a transaction
reconciles all of the transaction within the account?

I'm not looking for a reconciliation in my checking account to reconcile
the transaction split in the savings account, but for transaction splits
that are within the same parent checking account being reconciled I'd like
to see similar behavior as I saw on the Linux version. Or at least
understand this is 'expected'.

I've made pretty heavy use of these split transaction types and this
unexpected difference in transferring OS's has slowed down my
reconciliation process.

If an example helps:
I us a single transaction to transfer a $1000 paycheck into three sub
accounts. $300 for Automobile, $500 for Savings, $200 for Food.  All are
still within the same parent checking account. In Linux checking the box to
reconcile the $200 food transaction would also check the Automobile,
Savings and $1000 split.  In my experience with Windows all 4 transaction
splits must be "checked" individually.

Checking
>> Food
>> Automobile
>> Savings
