[GNC] Reconciliation anomaly

I have a bank account that I have not reconciled since May of 2024 and now
I want to play catchup.  Now I don't remember all the things that could be
out of whack but I have some issues with this account.

I am doing this in GnuCash release 5.14 on a Windows 10 machine.
Interestingly, if I select to show only reconciled transactions the ending
balance matches the statement balance for May 20, 2024, but if I show all
transactions in this register, the cleared and reconciled totals at the
bottom of the register are between 16,000 and 18,000 negative.  If I show
all transactions dated before today, those values do not change.  If I
start a reconciliation, the starting value for the reconciliation is equal
to the negative reconciled balance shown at the bottom of the register and
the ending value is the register value displayed for June 20, 2024

So my first question is "What can make the reconciled value shown at the
bottom of the register (which also seems to be the starting value for a
reconciliation.) about $24,000 less than the sum total of all the
reconciled transactions in the account?"
