[GNC] Account reconciliation -- Gnucash's beginning balance is incorrect.

[John Reagan]

Hello!


     I have been using Gnucash for years to keep track of my personal 
finances and it has always done a good job for me. However, recently I 
was trying to reconcile my checking account and the starting balance in 
Gnucash's reconciliation popup window was not only wrong, but showed a 
negative balance.  (I attached a screenshot of that popup window FYI.)  
I'm reconciling my August 2023 statement that shows an ending balance of 
$1378.00 (the correct amount, so this should have just been a slam-dunk 
reconciliation) but the starting balance for that period was $299.46 
which is the reconciled balance at the end of July. Instead, Gnucash is 
showing a starting balance of $ -200.54.

     I tried entering a correction transaction of $200.54, but it didn't 
change anything.

     So, any ideas as to what went wrong and how to fix this? Thanks.

John
