You are missing something, but it is perhaps not obvious.

In the "View" menu, there is a "Filter by…" entry. Select this entry, 
and a "Filter General Journal by…" dialogue appears. It has a "Date" 
tab. One of the options is "Show number of days", with a text field 
containing "30". Try clicking the "Show All" option instead. Then click 
OK to leave the dialogue. Now you should see all transactions in the 
General Journal. For me, it is over 26 years of transactions.
