Hi Ken, The reason the $150 isn't on the statement with ending date 7/27, is because the transaction date is 7/27; but the posting date is 7/28. So the charge will appear on next month's statement. But that's not the real issue here. What looks to me to be a bug is that I enter an amount in the Reconciliation popup window; and GnuCash appears to accept it. But in the very next window (Funds In vs. Funds Out) GnuCash has changed it back to what it had before I edited it. That seems wrong.
