[GNC] Strange bug in Reports after upgrading to 5.4

[Adrien Monteleone]

This sounds like a time zone issue. Long after 2.6.12, at least one bug 
was discovered where some transactions ended up with an 'internal' date 
different than the displayed date due to certain code with respect to 
time zone interpretation. You might have more transactions off than just 
those on the 1st of the month, but those are illustrating the issue.

It will not hurt, if you have not done so, (which *should* have been 
part of your upgrade procedure) to run Actions > Check & Repair > Check 
& Repair all on your file. (make a backup first, just to be safe)

If that doesn't work, or you have already done so, then maybe one of the 
devs with more intimate knowledge and better memory of this particular 
issue can offer advice.

Regards,
Adrien
